Is it possible to simulate a Hall thruster or at least approximate the hall effect in Fluent? If so, how?

[Rob]

Possibly, but the how is way beyond what I can cover on a public forum.

Would you be willing to provide more info over email? My email is apresto@calpoly.edu

Also doesn't work - I'm a little limited due to the various Export Rules/Laws. Your Prof may be able to contact the site account manager: that's down to what software is licenced. 

For info, it's very non-trivial and is definitely going to need a fair bit of user coding.

Thank you for the info. I currently

have a research license through a club partnership with Ansys, and my account is the license holder. Knowing this, would

you be able to point me in the right direction going forwards perhaps?

[Rob]

Please talk to the Ansys contact in that case. As mentioned I am not permitted to provide much on a public forum.
