A study of magnetoplasmadynamic effects in turbulent supersonic flows with application to detonation and explosion
Explosions are a common phenomena in the Universe. Beginning with the Big Bang, one could say the history of the Universe is narrated by a series of explosions. Yet no matter how large, small, or complex, all explosions occur through a series of similar physical processes beginning with their …

Derivation of a Numerical Method for Computing 3-D Magnetoplasmadynamic Flows in Thermodynamic Non-equilibrium
<p>Various models exist for the propulsion concept using magneto<em>hydro</em>dynamics (MHD). Various authors, such as Powell, Canupp, Candler, and MacCormack have dealt with issues of solving the magnetic field induction equations simultaneously with Navier-Stokes equations using Computational …

Technology survey and performance scaling for the design of high power nuclear electric power and propulsion systems
… effects of variations in the channel contour of magnetoplasmadynamic thrusters on performance and efficiency are evaluated using the MACH2 software package. Incremental variations in thruster channel contour are implemented, and the effects of these variations on the performance onset condition, …

Investigation of the GEM MPD thruster using the MACH2 magnetohydrodynamics code
This work investigated using the MACH2 plasma simulation code in replicating the results of previous experimental work on the gallium electromagnetic (GEM) thruster. MACH2 was also used to examine possible changes to the GEM thruster that could improve the performance of the actual thruster. …
