A Study on the Efficient Method for the Solution of the Saha Equation in the Numerical Simulation of Capillary Discharge

In the numerical simulation of capillary discharge for the Electrothermal (ET) or ET-chemical (ETC) launch system, one needs to solve the Saha equation to determine the composition of plasma for the transport coefficients. This would cause a relatively longer simulation runtime compared with convent...
