Influence of Surface Microwave Discharge on the Characteristics of Supersonic Flow near Streamlined Body

In the report physical processes which are taking place in the microwave discharge on external surfa ce of dielectric body being flown around of supersonic stream of air and in plasma of the volumetric freely localized microwave discharge were investigated. It is shown, that different types of microwave discharges can find application in aerodynamics for reduction of skin friction , for flow control and for plasma assisted combustion.
