Modeling the Hall thruster [PDF]

open access: yes34th AIAA/ASME/SAE/ASEE Joint Propulsion Conference and Exhibit, 1998
The acceleration of the plasma in the Hall thruster to supersonic velocities is examined by the use of a steady state model. Flows that are smooth across the sonic transition plane are found. The possibility of generating flows in which the acceleration across the sonic plane is abrupt, is also studied.

Rayleigh Instability in Hall Thrusters

38th AIAA/ASME/SAE/ASEE Joint Propulsion Conference & Exhibit, 2002
Gradient-driven Rayleigh-type instabilities in Hall plasma thrusters are analyzed using linearized two-fluid hydrodynamic equations. Necessary instability conditions and a general criterion for stability of azimuthally propagating perturbations are derived.
