Abstract: Electromagnetic propulsion systems offer high specific impulses (greater than 1500) and high thrust-density as compared to conventional chemical rocket propulsion system. Understanding and simulating the physical processes in electromagnetic propulsion devices (as well as testing with refined diagnostic equipment) hold the key to improved performance and longevity of these devices. This in turn is an essential requirement for a practical application in future space endevors.
