Abstract
In this paper, the application of energy deposition ahead of a blunt cylinder at Mach 3 is investigated. The energy deposition is simulated as a instantaneous high temperature filament in front of the cylinder. A commercial numerical code is used to solve for the Euler equations. The results show a significant momentary decrease in drag coefficient. It is seen that beyond sufficiently long filaments, the magnitude of the drag reduction becomes insensitive to the filament length.
