Our team contributed to the 77th Annual Gaseous Electronics Conference held at San Diego, California with a presentation on modeling Magnetic Nozzle physics.
The presentation “PIC and fluid simulations of low pressure magnetized plasmas for electric propulsion” by Pedro Jimenez and Mario Merino is available online.
Thank you to the organizers for an amazing event, we are looking forward to the next one!
