Proposal of an Experimental Methods for Electron Transpiration Cooling Effect

Abstract

We present an analysis of the current state of electron transpiration cooling (ETC) effect studies as applied to high-temperature aerodynamics of hypersonic vehicles. The possibility of experimental study of the ETC effect using the plasma-dynamic device at the Ioffe Institute is considered. The distribution of vertical component of the electric field and gas temperature distribution across the glow discharge is measured. The region of homogeneity of plasma parameters is determined.
