title = "Numerical prediction of dynamics of interaction of laser discharge plasma with a hemisphere-cylinder in a supersonic flow",
abstract = "The effect of a laser discharge onto supersonic flow past a hemisphere-cylinder at Mach 3.45 is considered. Flow details accompanying supersonic streamlining for three values of energy of a laser impulse - 13 mJ, 127 mJ and 258 mJ - are simulated numerically on the basis of the Euler equations. The energy deposition is modeled via the combining heated rarefied channels. Complex unsteady vortex contact structures caused by the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability together with a rarefaction wave reflection are shown to be the reason for the reduction of the stagnation pressure. Optimization of the characteristics of the energy sources has been realized taking into account the flow analysis and the comparison of the computational and experimental data. Energy estimations are provided for the three considered parameters of the laser impulse.",
