Modeling of Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) Plasma Thrusters: Optimization of Physical and Geometrical Parameters

This work aims to optimize a previous self-consistent model of a single stage electrohydrodynamic (EHD) thruster for space applications. The investigated parameters were the thruster performance (propulsion force T, the thrust to power ratio T/P, the electric potential distribution, the spatial dist...
