Abstract
The axial current density distribution on the cathode end surface of MPD thrusters is investigated numerically. Plasma temperature and propellant choice are found to be the most important factors determining the magnitude of the axial current density. The axial current density does not have the characteristics of the radial current density found in earlier studies. It is also found that plasma velocity and thruster geometry have only weak effects on the axial current density.
