Ionization and boundary layer control.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the possibility of preventing boundary layer energy losses by ionizing selectively the boundary layer air. Electrostatic repulsion at the wall surface of the positive ions created in the method chosen to prevent molecular collision at the surface and the...
