MAGNETOGASDYNAMIC BOUNDARY CONDITIONS AT A CONDUCTING WALL,
Abstract
Velocity boundary conditions at a conducting wall have been developed for the continuum magnetogas dynamic equations. The wall is separated from the fully ionized plasma by a Langmuir type sheath. The effect of the sheath on the single fluid plasma boundary conditions are studied. The potential of the wall may be either greater than, or less than, that of the plasma. Boundary conditions have been developed for both cases. For the case where the wall potential is greater than the plasma it is possible to have a slip velocity at the wall where no-slip would occur in an equivalent unionized gas flow. (Author)
