The simulation of the impact of small-scale components on the electrostatic charging of a spacecraft requires the implementation of new multiscale numerical schemes. For instance, resolving the solar array interconnects is needed to accurately simulate the current collection by a satellite with electric propulsion. We here present an implementation of the nonlinear patch method in the Spacecraft Plasma...
A crucial aspect for supersonic flights is the strong shock wave that forms in front of the air vehicle. By modifying the supersonic incoming flow, one can adjust this wave -which is the most contributing factor of the drag coefficient of an aircraft- and have consequently positive effects on the fuel consumption and on the noise produced by the object due to the sonic boom. Lately, plasma associated...
