Comparison of computational algorithms for simulating an electrospray plume with a n-body approach by Hampl, Sebastian K., Waggoner, Marshall T., Gallud Cidoncha, Ximo, Petro, Elaine M., Lozano, Paulo C.

“…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 computations in the simulation are captured through the use of three different computational algorithms with various degrees of approximation. …”

Sandwich structured electrostatic/electrets parallel-plate power generator for low acceleration and low frequency vibration energy harvesting by Miao, Jianmin, Liu, S. W., Lye, S. W.

“…Apart from the virtue of harvesting small vibration energy source, it also generates higher power output than conventional two-layer parallel-plate structure by reducing damping effect caused by inherent electrostatic force F e. A localized corona charging method, using charging mask, for ion implantation into electrets has significantly reduced the fast charge decaying problem in micro scale patterned electrets plates and simplified the charging procedure.…”
