There is a need for a better understanding of basic MHD phenomena. Specific needs include a detailed understanding of conditions that lead to plasma instabilities at high power densities; a better understanding and analysis of electric discharges in flowing, reacting gases; analysis and experiments to better understand electrode and boundary layer phenomena in the presence of strong magnetic fields, slag-layer shorting effects, and associated electrical nonuniformities; and a better understanding of scaling laws.

Applied research in this area is divided between a fundamental approach, involving basic discharge physics and plasma chemistry, and an Edisonian approach, centered on plasma-based pollution control devices. Nonequilibrium plasma technology has been applied to the chemical processing of gaseous media for more than a century.
