Abstract

As there isn’t a precise model of electrospray thrusters what I will try to do in this master thesis is to find a mathematical model that describes them in a simple way. After exposing some physical concepts I will study the physics of conductive liquids and then study the dynamics of the fluid during the operation with the purpose of calculating the propulsive parameters. In the end all equations found will be grouped together to implement a Matlab code setting with many initial conditions
