Abstract

The paper presents a numerical simulation of the dynamics of high-velocity aluminum plasma jets with multiple injection in the Earth’s ionosphere. Scenarios of single injection, counter injection, and collimation of plasma jets at a given convergence angle are considered. The gas-dynamic parameters of plasma formations and their optical characteristics are determined.
