Analysis of collisional and facility effects in a magnetic nozzle plasma expansion
Manuel Cortés-Hernán, Mario Merino, Diego GarcÃa-Lahuerta +1
An axisymmetric, quasineutral three-fluid model is proposed to study the plasma expansion in a magnetic nozzle under the presence of neutrals coming either from the plasma source o…
