Abstract

The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) parachute effect is studied numerically for the reentry conditions. The effects of the extra ionization due to induced electric field U × B are taken into account. The efficiency of MHD interaction in terms of drag is estimated. For the flight conditions under consideration, the increase of total drag due to electromagnetic one is more than twice.
