Plume Divergence

Plume Divergence is a performance metric in electric propulsion that quantifies the angular spread of the exhaust ion beam from a Hall Effect Thruster, characterizing the deviation of propellant particles from the ideal axial exhaust direction and thereby influencing thrust efficiency and spacecraft contamination.
