MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMICS (MHD) PAPERS
BY Dr. JEAN-PIERRE PETIT FROM 1968 TO 1992

Jean-Pierre Petit is a French scientist, senior researcher at National Scientific Research Center (CNRS) now retired. Gratuated from Supaero (French National Higher School of Aeronautics and Space) in 1961, Sc.D in 1972, astrophysicist, fluid mechanician, plasma physicist, magnetohydrodynamics specialist, Dr. Petit has created UFO-SCIENCE, a non-profit organization devoted to plasma propulsion and supersonic flight without shock wave through MHD force field flow control. His carrier in the field of MHD is well-know: 1st method of eletrothermal instability control and 1st usable MHD generator with non-equilibrium ionized gas - 1967 ; Non-equilibrium plasma kinetic theory - 1972 ; MHD aerodynes with HF ionization control - 1975 ; Shock wave cancellation by MHD force field around a cylindrical profile imbedded in a liquid flow - 1976 ; 2nd method of electrothermal instability control by magnetic pressure gradient in a MHD accelerator - 1981 ; Thesis director about shock wave annihilation around a flat wing in a hot supersonic gas flow: Resolution of Navier-Stokes equations with MHD force field with caracteristics method - 1987.

Here is the list of his papers in the field of MHD, some in French and some in English:
