Experimental investigation on plasma jet deflection with magnetic fluid control based on PIV measurement

【摘要】 This paper is devoted to experimentally investigating the influence of magnetic field intensity and gas temperature on the plasma jet deflection controlled by magneto hydrodynamics. The catalytic ionization seed CS₂CO₃ is injected into combustion gas by artificial forced ionization to obtain plasma fluid on a high-temperature magnetic fluid experimental platform. The plasma jet was deflected under the effect of an external magnetic field, forming a thrust-vector effect.Magnesium oxide was selected as a tracer particle, and a two-dimensional image of the jet flow field was collected using the particle image velocimetry（PIV） measurement method. Through image processing and velocity vector analysis of the flow field, the value of the jet deflection angle was obtained quantitatively to evaluate the thrust-vector effect. The variation of the jet deflection angle with the magnetic field intensity and gas temperature was studied under different experimental conditions. Experimental results show that the jet deflection angle increased gradually with a rise in gas temperature and then increased substantially when the gas temperature exceeded 2300 K. The jet deflection angle also increased with an increase in magnetic induction intensity. Experiments demonstrate it is feasible to use PIV test technology to study the thrust vector under magnetic control conditions.更多还原
