Abstract
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 divided
into three categories: one, the development of a self-consistent MHD numerical model capable of
modeling magnetic turbulence in high magnetic Reynolds number applications. Second, the development of a gas 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-assistance
such the extension of chemical kinetics models to extremely high temperature and non-equilibrium phenomenon.
