HallThruster.jl - v0.19.0

HallThruster v0.19.0

Diff since v0.18.7

This is a breaking release, although I have tried to keep things as backwards-compatible as possible.

Internals

Refactor ion and neutral internals to use a new FluidContainer struct. This means that plasmas containing multiple neutral species are now supported. This work lays the groundwork for molecular propellants.
With the above changes, the performance of the code has been increased by 25-35% on average.

Propellant struct

There is a new Propellant struct used to specify neutral gas properties at the anode.

Configuration changes

propellant is now propellants and can by an array of Propellant objects.
Anode mass flow rates as well as neutral properties at anode (temperature, velocity, etc) are now specified inside of Propellant objects. When using a single propellant, we provide a backwards-compatible interface.

Postprocessing changes

We have made several changes to stabilize the public interface and better isolate it from internal implementation details. - Added Frame and SpeciesState structs. See Outputs for more information. - No longer return the internal params struct in the Solution object. - Deprecating the old method of indexing by symbols. Instead, users should directly access fields of the Frame struct. A backwards-compatible interface is provided.
