Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An investigation was undertaken to determine how the choice of insulator wall material inside a Hall thruster discharge channel might affect thruster operation. In order to study this, an evolved hybrid particle-in-cell (PIC) numerical Hall thruster model, HPHall, was used. HPHall solves a set of quasi-one-dimensional fluid equations for electrons and tracks heavy particles using a PIC method.
