Abstract
A two-dimensional full fluid moment (FFM) model is developed to simulate the cross-field plasma discharge of a Hall effect thruster (HET) in an axial-azimuthal configuration. The fully non-neutral model solves the conservation of mass, momentum, and energy for ions and electrons, self-consistently evaluating the electric field by solving the Poisson equation. The model is an expansion of the previously developed one-dimensional FFM <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sup> , which was compared to drift-diffusion models. The 2D model seeks to study the multidimensional effects on anomalous electron transport in HETs, studying the coupling between transport in the axial direction and the ExB direction.
