Numerical Modeling of the Hall Thruster Discharge

Abstract

This collection of seven previously published papers performed under Grant No. FA8655-04-1-3003 provide the background for the development of a new version of the HPHall hybrid code (HPHallv.2) for the numerical modeling of Hall Thruster discharge and new insights on discharge physics obtained during the development.
