【 摘 要 】

The main objective of this thesis is to develop a comprehensive model with the capability of modeling both a high Reynolds number and high magnetic Reynolds number turbulent flow for application to supersonic combustor. The development of this model can be dividedinto three categories: one, the development of a self-consistent MHD numerical model capable ofmodeling magnetic turbulence in high magnetic Reynolds number applications. Second, the development of agas discharge model which models the interaction of externally applied fields in conductive medium. Third, the development of models necessary for studying supersonic combustion applications with plasma-assistancesuch the extension of chemical kinetics models to extremely high temperature and non-equilibrium phenomenon.
