Due to the significance of gas storage in recent years, the importance of its most crucial
operational and economic aspect, the cushion gas, has come under great scrutiny. The …

Plasma science and technology has enabled advances in very diverse fields: micro-and
nanotechnology, chemical synthesis, materials fabrication and, more recently, biotechnology …

The paper presents a comparative study of a spark discharge evolution in nitrogen for cases
of its isothermal and adiabatic compressions. A numerical model of a spark channel …

The aim of the work is to study the influence of the length of the spark gap on energy input
into the discharge channel during its gas-dynamic expansion. Methodology. The research is …

A supercritical (SC) fluid is formed when both pressure and temperature of a fluid exceed the
critical point, where distinct gas and liquid phases no longer exist. SC fluids demonstrate …

Fast and repetitive switching in high-power circuits is a challenging task where the ultimate
solutions still have to be found. We proposed a new approach. Supercritical fluids (SCFs) …

A validated numerical model of spark channel expansion was used to investigate the spark
channel expansion in a high-pressure hydrogen–oxygen mixture and in nitrogen. The model …

Spatiotemporal density is important to understand the fluid behavior especially near the
critical point (NCP). Here, molecular dynamics (MD) was applied to investigate Lennard …

When the pressure and temperature of a fluid exceed a critical point, the fluid enters into the
supercritical (SC) region. In this region, the physical properties are believed to be in favor of …

Electric propulsion presents an excellent alternative to conventional chemical counterparts
as higher exhaust velocities from a plasma-based thruster allow for more efficient mass …
