A comparison of Fourier and POD mode decomposition methods for high-speed Hall thruster video
J. W. Brooks, M. S. McDonald, A. A. Kaptanoglu
Hall thrusters are susceptible to large-amplitude plasma oscillations that impact thruster performance and lifetime and are also difficult to model. High-speed cameras are a popula…
