Summary— This work is in the area of computational fluid dynamics.  We present an algorithm for accurately modeling high-energy supersonic plasma flows, such as those encountered in the atmospheric re-entry of a spacecraft.  The abstract and paper from the conference are included below.  Also included is a highly-detailed technical report from the VKI.

This paper was presented by Professor Gérard Degrez at the Third International Conference on Computational Fluid Dynamics (ICCFD3) in Toronto in June, 2004, and subsequently published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Physics.
