Numerical study of the hydrogen ionization process in the channel of the quasi-stationary plasma accelerator is presented. Calculations of pulsating and stationary flows of ionizing hydrogen were carried out within the framework of two-dimensional MHD model in the approximation of local thermodynamic equilibrium, taking into account the radiation transport and under the condition of uniform gas supply at the channel inlet. As a result of a series of calculations, the empirical condition for the stationarity of axisymmetric flows of ionizing hydrogen was determined.

Numerical study of the ionization process stability in a flow of ionizing helium in the channel of the quasi-stationary plasma accelerator is presented. The model of two-dimensional axisymmetric flows is based on the modified MHD equations for the multicomponent medium consisting of atoms, electrons, and multiply charged ions with different ionization multiplicity. The numerical model takes into account the electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. Results of modeling of the ionizing gas flows and the integral characteristics of the radiation are presented. As a result of a series of calculations, the empirical condition for the stability of ionizing helium flows was obtained in terms of the experimentally measured parameters.

The objective of this paper is to perform a comprehensive experimental and numerical study to analyze short pulse laser propagation through animal tissue samples and phantoms with inhomogeneities imbedded in them. Initially a parametric study of different absorption and scattering coefficients of the tissue phantoms and of inhomogeneities imbedded in them, size and location of the inhomogeneities is performed in order to optimize the time resolved optical detection scheme. Tissues can be modeled primarily as having two main layers-skin and the underlying muscle. To study the interaction of light with the tissue layers, experiments are next performed on freshly excised rat tissue samples to validate the time varying optical signatures of rat skin and muscle with the numerical model. The next step is to perform in vivo imaging of anaesthetized rats with tumors injected on the skin as well as below the skin surface in order to test the optical detection scheme. The goal is the detection and characterization of tumors in rats.
