Comparison of ML to first-principles models
ML model has best correspondence and predictive capability of proposed closures Test dataset Training dataset Success of data-driven model invites a number of questions Fundamentally, is this giving up on physics? Can any physical insight emerge from it? Practically, can this be used for predictive models? Potentially, with more data But the parameter space is wide!

Summary
- Fluid models are attractive tool for modeling Hall effect thrusters
- Need to account for known anomalous electron transport in these models with a type of
closure: typically anomalous effects represented with scalar collision frequency (or mobility)
- Data-driven, ML methods can be employed to find functional form for this anomalous
collision frequency
- Predictions from ML results yield
β Improved results compared to first-principles models for anomalous collision frequency β ML algorithm also yields physical insight into dominant terms governing transport
- ML is a promising path forward for closing anomalous electron transport problem.
Predictive capability has applications ranging from predictive design to qualification through analysis.
- On-going challenges include
