Ion wind drag reductionIn order to study the effect of ion wind on viscous drag, the equations of electrogasdynamics are solved numerically assuming the flow is incompressible, the electric field is steady and that the fluid velocity is negligible compared to ion drift velocity. The results obtained to date in a continuing theoretical and experimental research program are presented.
