The azimuthal currents in the ion-driven magnetic nozzle

The azimuthal currents in the ion-driven magnetic nozzle

Ion-driven magnetic nozzles (Ti > Te) are designed as intrinsic parts of cutting-edge propulsive technologies such as variable specific impulse magnetoplasma rockets (VASIMRs) and applied-field magnetoplasmadynamic thrusters. Employing a two-dimensional axisymmetric particle-in-cell (PIC) code, i...
