Abstract :
Supersonic magnetohydrodynamic field analysis is carried out for energy conversion using a weakly ionized plasma. The magnetic field induced by a generated electric current is taken into account. A three-dimensional simulation shows that the Lorentz force induces a shock wave and boundary-layer separation in the plasma duct flow.
