Abstract: Understanding anomalous electron transport in E × B discharges remains a key challenge in the development of self-consistent models of these systems. It has been shown that short-wavelength, high-frequency instabilities in the azimuthal E ×… read more here.

Abstract: The performance of closure models for the anomalous electron transport when self-consistently implemented in a fluid model for a Hall effect thruster is investigated. This cross-field transport, which is orders of magnitude higher than classical… read more here.
