MHD interaction in the boundary layer of hypersonc flows

 

MHD interaction in the boundary layer of hypersonc flows. As it is easy to see from this animation (pressure field is shown), the switching from the no MHD condition to the MHD one, drammaticaly influence the fluidodynamic regime.

 

Experimental Set Up for the validation of the numerical codes. It is possible to see the Magnet, the test case with 2D Hall geometry, and the vacuum vessel.
