Mitigation of shock-induced flow separation using magnetohydrodynamic flow control. (English) Zbl 1378.76129

Summary: A numerical investigation is carried out to demonstrate a proof of concept, magnetohydrodynamics-based active flow control, for mitigation of laminar flow separation over a flat plate due to shock wave-boundary layer interaction. The CERANS-MHD code has been used to solve the governing resistive magnetohydrodynamic equations discretized in finite-volume framework. The AUSM-PW+ flux function is used in modelling the advection terms and central differencing is used in modelling the resistive terms. Powell’s source term method is used for divergence cleaning of the magnetic field. The Hartmann number is varied from 0 to 12,000 to effectuate mitigation of flow separation, with the magnetic field applied at the wall and oriented transverse to the flat plate flow direction. Due to the Hartmann effect, flow separation is observed to be suppressed with increase in Hartmann number beyond 6000. However, the overall magnitude of skin friction distribution increases drastically, resulting in large increase in skin friction drag as compared with the non-magnetic case, and is a cause of concern.
