Welcome to the page of the Dynamics of Ionized Media group, a research unit of the Department of Mechanics and Physics of Fluids .

You will find here some material about various electric plasma propulsion concepts, as well as information related to our activities.

The electric propulsion research performed at the Institute of Fundamental Technological Research mainly focuses on the computer modeling and fundamental theory of Hall thrusters, and their application to the development of new technological solutions.

Much of this work is performed within the frame of a large research network led by CNES, CNRS and SNECMA (Research network PPSO).
