| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of the research is to establish the basic grounds of a magnetohydrodynamic electrical power generation harnessing beam energy in aerospace vehicle. The electrical power generation with high temperature and pressure plasma flow originating from a laser supported detonation by an irradiation of CO2 laser has been experimentally demonstrated in small scale MHD generators, and the performance and its improvement have been examined by 2d and 3d time-dependent numerical simulations. The results obtained in the present research are quite innovative and originative, and the objective in the research has been successfully achieved.
