Field Evaporation Simulation in Electrospray Thrusters Using Electrohydrodynamics–Particle-in-Cell Method

What is it about?

For the first time, we have fully coupled the electrohydrodynamic (EHD) method with the particle-in-cell (PIC) method to simulate the transient process of field evaporation of freely suspended droplets under a uniform electric field. The study focused on analyzing the impact of particle mass and liquid conductivity on spatial charge effects.
