Predictive Modeling for Complex Plasma Systems with Poorly Understood Physics

Abstract

The objective of this work was to investigate a new technique for predicting the behavior of complex plasma systems of strategic importance to the Space Propulsion and Power program. Many of the most promising technologies of interest to the Air Force even those that are considered mature have poorly understood aspects of their operation. The lack of understanding of these processes has in many cases prevented the development of fully predictive numerical models for these technologies.
