Review of closed drift thruster neutral flow dynamics

Operation of closed drift thruster (CDT) relies mainly on neutral gas, whose trajectory and distribution in the flow field have a significant influence on performance. Neutral flow dynamics (NFD), also known as the dynamics of the neutral gas in the thruster, has received increased attention from re...
