Abstract
Today, utilizing plasma technology to reduce aircraft noise, enhance radar stealth, diminish environmental pollution, increase the speed of flying vehicles, and improve energy efficiency are among the primary objectives of the aviation industry. One type of plasma propulsion involves using corona discharge, which consists of two electrodes with different radii. The current study focuses on a wire-cylinder configuration of corona discharge and has been validated. Then, the effect of the attack angle between the two electrodes on the corona discharge was examined. The results indicate that an increase in lateral wind can reduce the effectiveness of corona discharge by up to 50 percent at a constant voltage. Finally, this research investigates the impact of humidity and temperature on corona discharge. Numerical results show that with an increase in humidity percentage and temperature, the efficiency coefficient, power consumption, and thrust significantly increase. At a constant voltage of 10 kilovolts, a 75 percent increase in humidity can enhance efficiency by about 58 percent, and a 30-degree increase in temperature can increase efficiency by up to 60 percent.
