The invention belongs to the field of hypersonic active flow control, and discloses a drag reduction and heat
protection system and method for a hypersonic aircraft, and the method combines two active flow control methods of energy deposition and magnetofluid flow control. The excellent drag reduction characteristic of energy deposition can bring a good drag reduction effect to an aircraft, meanwhile, energy deposition can serve as an auxiliary
ionization technology, and the magnetic
control effect of magnetic fluid flow control is improved by improving the fluid
conductivity; due to the outstanding
thermal protection performance of magnetic fluid flow control, an excellent
thermal protection effect is brought to the aircraft after
heat flow increase in a part of time periods caused by the energy
deposition process is treated; meanwhile, the problems of resistance
impact and oscillation caused by
pulse energy deposition are fully inhibited under the action of the
magnetic field Lorentz force; by the adoption of the method, a better hypersonic speed drag reduction and heat protection effect is achieved, the resistance borne by the hypersonic speed aircraft can be effectively reduced, the heat protection capacity of the aircraft is improved, and the method has wide application prospects.
