The results of calculations and experiments on plasma heating of the supersonic flow of gases in the conical nozzle by an external high-frequency inductor are given. The simulation was carried out in order to increase the specific impulse and efficiency of the liquid rocket engine. The results of numerical simulations are qualitatively consistent with the experiments conducted in a water-cooled quartz reactor. Keywords: Low-temperature plasma, specific high-frequency power, skin layer.
