Plasma modelling is an exciting subject in which virtually all physical disciplines are
represented. Plasma models combine the electromagnetic, statistical and fluid dynamical …

The capability for CFD prediction of hypersonic shock wave laminar boundary layer
interaction was assessed for a double wedge model at Mach 7.1 in air and nitrogen at 2.1 …

A new methodology to accurately and efficiently examine the radio frequency blackout
phenomenon during the hypersonic reentry process is introduced and validated. The current …

A new kinetic thermal nonequilibrium model for air plasma, considering vibrations of, and
molecules in both the ground and electronically excited states in a state-to-state approach …

In order to study chromospheric magnetosonic wave propagation including, for the first time,
the effects of ion–neutral interactions in the partially ionized solar chromosphere, we have …

As the Mach number increases, the local static temperature gradually approaches the
characteristic gas vibration/dissociation temperature, and significant thermo-chemical …

During the atmospheric entry phase at hypersonic speed, the radio communication from/to a
space vehicle can be disrupted due to the formation of a plasma sheath within the …

We present a novel numerical model that simulates ideal two-fluid plasmas coupled to the
full set of Maxwell's equations with application to space and laboratory plasmas. We use a …

Abstract We present a Finite Volume scheme for solving Maxwell's equations coupled to
magnetized multi-fluid plasma equations for reactive and collisional partially ionized flows …

The present paper addresses the development and implementation of the first high-order
Flux Reconstruction (FR) solver for high-speed flows within the open-source COOLFluiD …
