This paper presents the results of the application of a computational fluid dynamics algorithm for the simulation of plasma flows of arc-heated jet. The underlying physical model is based on the axisymmetric form of the conservation equations that are coupled with an arc model including Ohm heating, electromagnetic forces. The arc model given as a source term in fluid dynamic equations is determined by a solution of electric potential field governed by an elliptic partial differential equation. The governing equation of electric field is loosely coupled with fluid dynamic equations by an electric conductivity that is a function of state variables. However, the electric fields and flow fields cannot be solved In fully coupled manner, but should be solved iteratively due to the different characteristics of governing equations. With this solution approach, several applications of arc flow analysis will be presented including Arc Thruster and Circuit Breaker.

If an actuation system of the tactical missile is required very fast response time on conditions of short operating time and big loads on the actuator, we would prefer to adopt a small hydraulic system. In this paper, a mathematical model is proposed to analyze and simulate the small hydraulic actuation system. The mathematical model consists of a high pressure vessel model, a pressure regulator model, a hydraulic reservoir model and a actuator model. The suggested model is validated by comparison of simulation results with experimental data. The simulation results show that the mathematical model could be useful for designing a hydraulic actuation system.
