A combined numerical and experimental study of the effect of surface arc discharge on the oblique shock is performed. Results show that the arc discharge effectively reduces the strength of oblique shock, leading to the increase in shock angle. An accurate method for shock angle measurement is proposed based on Schlieren images.
