Fully-kinetic PIC simulations for Hall-effect thrusters
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
In recent years, many groups have numerically modeled the near-anode region of a Hall thruster in attempts to better understand the associated physics of thruster operation. Originally, simulations assumed a continuum ...
Advances in fully-kinetic PIC simulations of near-vacuum Hall thruster and other plasma systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
In recent years, many groups have numerically modeled the near-anode region of a Hall thruster in attempts to better understand the associated physics of thruster operation. Originally, simulations assumed a continuum ...
