  • Rarefaction weakens electromagnetic flow control in hypersonic plasma

    What the study found Rarefaction effects weaken the influence of electromagnetic control in hypersonic flow around a hemisphere. The study also indicates that the unified gas-kinetic wave-particle (UGKWP) method can model this kind of electromagnetic flow across near-continuum to rarefied conditions. Why the authors say this matters The authors conclude that the results highlight UGKWP's…
