hallmd

Prototype of a predictive engineering model (PEM) of a Hall thruster. Integrates sub-models from multiple disciplines to simulate a Hall thruster operating in a vacuum chamber. Uses uncertainty quantification techniques to extrapolate model predictions to a space-like environment.

  • devices - Contains information about specific devices (thrusters and other equipment).
  • data - Contains experimental data for validating the models.
