THALES

Participants : Christophe Besse, Thierry Goudon, Nicolas Vauchelet, Ingrid Lacroix-Violet, Saja Borghol.

On the one hand we have optimized and proposed a parallel version of the code SPARCS which is designed to compute the electric potential on the spacecraft and around it. On the other hand we have proposed alternative hydrodynamic models and a method to derive adapted boundary conditions for the macroscopic quantities in order to reproduce phenomena due to the kinetic ones.
