A concept for plasma detachment in a magnetic nozzle is developed based on the
detachment region which is found to decrease with the taper angle of the coils employed in …

The sheath formation mechanism is modeled in a four-component collisional
electronegative warm plasma considering the behavior of positive ions by fluid equations …

Magnetic nozzle appears to be a practical solution for prolonged space missions. For
efficient handling of the spaceship, an in-flight solution to customize the thrust from the …

A three-thick tapered-coils system is developed and the role of spacing and relative size of
the coils along with their tapering in controlling the plume geometry through a magnetic …

Laser and plasma interaction leads to several fascinating nonlinear phenomena, out of
which bubble wakefield excitation is one of the recent interests. This field is used for the …

A theoretical model is developed to investigate the density gradient driven instability in an
E→× B→ plasma system with the consideration of finite temperature of both the electrons …

An analytical formalism to understand the impact of various parameters on evolving
instabilities in inhomogeneous collisional dusty plasmas is presented here under the effect …

Hall thrusters have high thrust-to-power ratio, efficiency and specific impulse. Therefore, less
propellant mass is required for small satellite missions compared to chemical thrusters. In …

High-energy particle beam is used to probe the local or long range structure and properties
of materials. Particle accelerators are also used in material science to understand radiation …

Rocket nozzles are subject to various kinds of loadings that typically include the pressure
due to hot exhaust gas, forces experienced as a result of high-speed flow of the propellant …
