Laminar flow breaks down at “fast travel” ie anything that man has flying these days. And I am not at all sure what “literature” you are referring to. There is no book on UFOdynamics that I am aware of (at least not by anyone who knows anything about compressible flow.) So I will continue to assume that you are being sarcastic else wise you need to do some serious studying.
I believe Stephen King and Isaac Asimov have released several scientific papers on the physics of it. :->
I’m not a physicist.
consult Stanton Friedman et al
There have been a lot of pages published about such things.
I would suspect that it would depend on the . . . sophistication and degree of advancement of the technology producing the ionization etc. etc. etc.
My assumptions are that the public textbooks that might apply are decades out of date.
