3D Simulation of a Hall-effect thruster near plume with a side cathode

Raw simulation data of the near plume of an SPT-100 Hall Effect thruster, obtained using the 3D code "EP2PLUS". This makes use of a hybrid particle-in-cell/fluid (PIC/fluid) formulation, and is here used to assess the 3D effects of the neutralizer position on the plasma properties in the near plume. The annular exit plane of the thruster coincides with the z = 0 plane, while the exit plane center-point is at x = y = z = 0. This dataset refers to a simulation with a neutralizer located on one side of the annular channel at x = 0.076 m, y = 0, z = 0. All shown results refer to the final simulation time (1.6 ms) and are time-averaged over periods of 0.2 ms.
