Numerical computation of entropy generation in an astronautical electromagnetic swirl thermonuclear engine propulsion system
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Nuclear propulsion is currently the only feasible option for long duration spacecraft manned missions. Many new designs have been proposed and tested including thermal nuclear rockets (which achieve at least double the propulsion efficiency of the Sp...

Computation of electrohydrodynamic ion drag direct current pump flows for wing plasma actuation using a semi-numerical technique
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Plasma actuation in aircraft wing aerodynamics has been shown to achieve enhanced flow control. This enables an
improvement in aerodynamic efficiency, stability and control and can successfully accelerate, decelerate or divert air flows to
reduce a... Read More about Computation of electrohydrodynamic ion drag direct current pump flows for wing plasma actuation using a semi-numerical technique.
