In this paper, heat transfer was investigated in a Mach 4.6 low-density Ar plasma in the absence and presence of magnetic fields up to 0.5 Telsa.
Abstract
Heat transfer was mcasured for conducting (copper) and nonconducting (teflon) models in a Mach 4.6 low-density Ar plasma in the absence and presence of magnetic fields up to 0.5 Telsa. Results show the importance of local wall currents both with and without magnetic field. For the conducting model, an electron flux entering the surface increased the stagnation-region heat flux compared to the nonconducting model. For the nonconducting model, theory predicts well the heat transfer for zero field but fails to predict the slight increase at the stagnation region with high magnetic field. (DLC)

Experiment on Drag Enhancement for a Blunt Body with Electrodynamic Heat Shield

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors experimentally verify not only the drag enhancement, but also the integrated Lorentz force, which is the main cause for the increase in drag, and this experimental verification is a direct corroboration of the interaction that is a basis of the electrodynamic heat-shield technique.

Laminar Heat Transfer Over Blunt-Nosed Bodies at Hypersonic Flight Speeds

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the case of laminar heat transfer over blunt-nosed bodies at hypersonic flight speeds, or high s tagnat ion temperatures, in which the chemical reaction rates are regarded as "very fas t" compared to the rates of diffusion across streamlines.
