Birth-Potential Multigroup Fluid Model for Ballistic Electrons: Breakdown and Cathode Sheath Regimes
Bernard Parent, Brendan Perry
Fluid models of discharges fail where electron runaway dominates. On the left branch of the Paschen curve and in high-voltage cathode sheaths, the electron population splits into a…
Thermodynamically Consistent Vibrational-Electron Heating: Generalized Model for Multi-Quantum Transitions
Bernard Parent, Felipe Martin Rodriguez Fuentes
Accurate prediction of electron temperature () is critical for non-equilibrium plasma applications ranging from hypersonic flight to plasma-assisted combustion. We recen…
Electron Density Depletion in Reentry Plasma Flows Using Pulsed Electric Fields
Felipe Martin Rodriguez Fuentes, Bernard Parent
Communication blackout due to the plasma layer creates a critical telemetry gap for re-entry vehicles. To mitigate this, we present the first fully-coupled simulation of high-volta…
Thermodynamically Consistent Vibrational-Electron Heating: Generalized Derivation for Excited State Populations
Bernard Parent, Felipe Martin Rodriguez Fuentes
Accurate prediction of electron temperature () in non-equilibrium plasma flows is critical for applications ranging from hypersonic flight to plasma-assisted combustion.…
Electrodeless Magnetohydrodynamic Local Force Generator for Aerocapture
Bernard Parent, Felipe Martin Rodriguez Fuentes, Spencer LaFoley
This paper presents a novel magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) system for planetary entry aerocapture. The system is advantaged over previous approaches by having the following two charact…
Vibrational-Electron Heating in Plasma Flows: A Thermodynamically Consistent Model
Felipe Martin Rodriguez Fuentes, Bernard Parent
Accurate prediction of electron temperature () in non-equilibrium {plasma} flows is critical, yet hampered by inadequate models for electron heating from vibrationally e…
Impact of Ion Mobility on Electron Density and Temperature in Hypersonic Flows
Felipe Martin Rodriguez Fuentes, Bernard Parent
This study provides the first comprehensive analysis of how ion mobility affects electron density and temperature in hypersonic flows. We compare two ion mobility models: one deriv…
Progress in Electron Energy Modeling for Plasma Flows and Discharges
Bernard Parent, Felipe Martin Rodriguez Fuentes
A novel formulation of the electron energy relaxation terms is presented here, which is applicable to plasma flows and discharges wherein the electron temperature could be higher o…
