Comparison of computational algorithms for simulating an electrospray plume with a n-body approach

Abstract In order to better evaluate the trade-offs between different simulation options for an electrospray thruster plume, we have developed a multi-scale n-body code to compute the evolution of a single emitter electrospray plume in the pure ionic regime. The electrostatic force co...
