  • Abstract
    TxFluids is a high density plasma modeling tool under development at Tech-X corporation. The tool was originally developed for magneto intertial fusion (MIF) applications, but has recently been improved to include weakly ionized plasma effects such as atmospheric plasma chemistry relevant to low altitude hypersonic vehicles. This work presents recent progress in tool development and modeling of aero-plasmas in TxFluids.
