A novel method to predict current–voltage characteristics of positive corona discharges based on a perturbation technique. II. Global analysis and applications to electrohydrodynamic thrusters
Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) thrusters can silently propel small unmanned aerial vehicles without moving parts using corona discharges. Computational fluid dynamics would be a powerful tool to model the EHD thrusters and then optimize them. The drift-diffusion-Poisson equations govern corona discharges...
