Welcome to the Plasma Research Laboratory (PRL)

PRL supports a range of research themes encompassing: Fusion Plasma Physics; Space Plasma, Power and Propulsion (SP3); the Physics of Fluids; and Application Technologies.

Fusion Plasma Physics embraces a range of pursuits associated with plasma theory and modelling; the physics of magnetised plasma; electromagnetics; remote sensing and inverse methods. It also hosts the Australian Plasma Fusion Research Facility H-1NF. Plasma Theory & Modelling		Space Plasma, Power and Propulsion conducts work on both basic and applied plasma physics. The core research areas involve experimental and theoretical aspects of expanding radiofrequency helicon plasmas applied to space science, space propulsion and hydrogen fuel cells. Space Plasma		Physics of Fluid studies the physics of turbulence and coherent structures. Physics of Fluids Laboratory   Application Technologies build on plasma-related technologies, the BushLan Project aims to provide wireless broadband to remote areas.
