Theoretical, analytical, and experimental investigations of electrospray operation in vacuum
facilities show that secondary species emission (SSE) plays a significant role in the behavior …

A multi-scale approach to electrospray ion source modeling has been developed. The
evolution of a single-emitter electrospray plume in a pure ionic regime is simulated with a …

Performance and lifetime analysis of electrospray thrusters requires accurate knowledge of
the mass and charge distributions of the plume. Mass flux and current density distributions …

Ionic liquid electrosprays can emit a polydisperse population of charged droplets, clusters,
and molecular ions at high velocity. Secondary species emission (SSE) is a term that …

The leaky-dielectric model is incorporated in the Finite Volume Method (FVM) code,
OpenFOAM, to investigate the electrospray emission behavior of low to moderate …

Abstract Machine learning models are applied to simulated electrospray particle data to
investigate plume dynamics from emission to final particle properties. A limited set of final …

Electrospray devices, such as ionic liquid ion sources, often exhibit glows during operation
in high vacuum facilities. The lack of electron excitation mechanisms during electrospray …

As an important raw material for additive manufacturing (AM), the performance of powder is
one of the key factors affecting the final product. Although, existing preparation methods …

To better characterize the lifetime and performance of electrospray thrusters, electron
emission due to electrode impingement by the propellant cation 1-ethyl-3 …
