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…
