Application of Ab-initio Quantum Chemistry Techniques to Hypersonic Flows for Plasma Blackout Alleviation
Plasma blackout in hypersonic flows produced by weakly-ionized air plasma sheaths is a phenomenon that attenuates or completely blocks communications with vehicles flying in a high-enthalpy flow environment. The ability to mitigate this issue can be useful from various re-entry vehicles to in-atmosp...
