Tutorial N-body simulations of electrospray thruster plumes

In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through simulating the expansion of a plume from an electrospray thruster. Learn to:

  • Set initial emission conditions
  • Describe external electric fields
  • Model molecule fragmentation
  • Compute forces on particles
  • Update particle positions
  • Visualize particle propagation in 2D and 3D
