Collisionless ion modeling in Hall thrusters: analytical axial velocity distribution function and heat flux closures
Stefano Boccelli, Thomas Charoi, Alejandro Alvarez-Laguna +3
The genesis of the ion axial velocity distribution function (VDF) is analyzed for collisionless Hall thruster discharges. An analytical form for the VDF is obtained from the Vlasov…
