Atmosphere-Breathing Electric Propulsion (ABEP) Ion Thruster - Georgia Tech ME 3340 Fluids Project
Georgia Tech ME 3340 (Fluid Mechanics) Project for Dr. David Hu - Atmosphere-Breathing Electric Propulsion (ABEP) Ion Thruster by Austin Graves and Jacob Riesel.
Note: The video's fast pacing is due to video length restrictions for the course project.
Correction: The flow is technically more similar to Couette flow due to the "hole" of pressure difference located along the center axis of the thruster.
