Laboratory of Interaction of Plasma and Radiation with Materials

See also Laboratory website

Research Topics

• generation of the low-temperature plasma, its diagnostics and application to the modeling aerodynamic heating;
• experimental studies of heat transfer in sub- and supersonic plasma flows;
• thermochemical testing of thermal protection materials and TPS elements in high-enthalpy gas flows;
• numerical simulation of induction plasma flows and heat transfer;
• determination of catalytic properties of the surface of tested material with respect to atomic recombination;
• self-organization phenomena in gas-discharges;
• study of effect of corona discharge from pointed objects on lightning during a thunderstorm for purposes of lightning protection;
• investigation of streamer-leader processes in laboratory, in lightning, and in the upper atmosphere ("blue jets" and "red sprites");
• studies the anisotropy of materials and surrounding space.
