Computational and Experimental Study on the Discharge Model of a 20 Amperes Emission Current Hollow Cathode

The discharge characteristics of hollow cathode directly affect the performance of thruster. In order to obtain the plasma parameters of the 20 A emission current hollow cathode, COMSOL software is used to simulate the potential distribution, neutral fluid distribution and plasma parameters of the c...
