Book Description
This report results from a contract tasking Russian Academy of Sciences as follows: The contractor will conduct initial feasibility and analysis studies on the application of MHD accelerator for propulsion and flow acceleration. The overall objective of the proposed project is to perform preliminary testing in order to evaluate an experimental MHD accelerator laboratory that can be used in the future for both experimentation into MHD propulsion and as a hypervelocity wind tunnel for experiments into hypersonic flow and flight control system within the confines of the proposed program, the contractor seeks to: a) analyze and report on the potential capability of MHO acceleration assisted advanced propulsion and to provide quasi-steady state hypervelocity ground tests; 2) evaluate an existing experimental MHD accelerator laboratory for experimental testing and 3) develop an experimental plan for conduct of an open demonstration experiment.
