Experiment, Modeling, and Simulation of Advanced Materials - Plasma Interactions in the Space Environment

Abstract

The objective of this proposal is to mitigate existing plasma and thruster models that do not capture the inherent dynamic time-varying nature of the systems, by comparing and assessing different modeling approaches in capturing true system dynamics by techniques such as time-lag phase portrait for plasma and propulsion systems. Further, the research seeks to incorporate chemical reactions into the system models and model results are benchmarked, verified, and validated by experiments within a canonical plasma system.
