Flow field analysis of the supersonic nitrogen inductively coupled plasma using a nonequilibrium MHD model

Flow features of a supersonic inductively coupled plasma heater that can obtain suitable heat flux for development of membrane material for the flexible aeroshell are numerically examined by means of nonequilibrium magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) equations. A thermochemical nonequilibrium MHD model was c...
