PLASMA CONTROL OF HYPERSONIC VEHICLES-MODELS • Desire (and need) for general modeling tools that are applicable to predict peformance, optimize design of re-entry vehicles and hypersonic craft. • Wide range of geometries- 3D approach required. • Magnetic field capable • Altitudes, Mach speed • Composition (e.g., Earth vs Venus vs Mars) • High performance computing (massively parallel, many weeks/case) • Rate limiting step is properly representing conductivity in context of vast dynamic range in conditions • Pressures from mTorr to many atm. • Composition • Temperature (ambient to many eV) • Computationally tractable.
