Control of the dynamic interaction of a “magnetized” sphere with a hypersonic flow of rarefied plasma

Parametric analysis has been performed, and dependences of the “magnetic” components coefficients of the drag force and lifting force of a “magnetized” sphere in a hypersonic flow of rarefied plasma for the angle between the flow-velocity vector and the induction vector of the intrinsic magnetic field of the body, as well as on the ratio of the magnetic pressure to the gas-dynamic pressure of the plasma flow have been obtained. It is shown that the change in the mutual orientation of the vectors of the magnetic field of the body and the incoming flow velocity is an efficient means of controlling the dynamic interaction in the plasma—sphere system and makes it possible to implement the interaction mode with nonzero aerodynamic quality and the regimes of deceleration and acceleration of the “magnetized” sphere in a hypersonic flow of rarefied plasma.
