During reentry into the atmosphere, aerospace vehicles are subjected to severe aerothermal heating that causes the surrounding gas to ionize and form a plasma. The analysis of the plasma around the vehicle is useful in developing new strategies and mitigation devices to minimize blackout related issues. Modeling aspects and the simulation results of aerothermal heating, plasma generation and EM wave...
Laboratory modeling was used to analyze the plasma layer generation similar to that produced in real hypersonic flight. This paper illustrates the novel approach utilizing cathodic arc for this purpose.
Strongly coupled plasmas are important to emerging applications including plasma opening switches, quantum information systems, ionospheric plasmas related to atmospheric explosions, and micro-plasma devices. Traditionally, researchers have used modeling and simulation with great success to help understand plasma behavior. However, present modeling tools usually assume that plasmas are in the weakly-coupled...
The 24-strap ITER RF antenna is modeled with a time-domain electromagnetic simulation package [1], that faithfully represents the 3D complexity of the launcher geometry. The simulations include a cold-plasma fluid model of the edge plasma [2], with an RF sheath sub-grid model which allows for realistic behavior of plasma in contact with metallic structures such as Faraday shields [3]. This self-consistent...
