In this paper, the plasma flow in applied field magneto-plasmadynamic (AFMPD) thrusters is described by conservation equations for heavy particles, electrons and the magnetic field for thermal and chemical non-equilibrium. To take into account the effects of the applied magnetic field a quasi-three dimensional approach with vanishing azimuthal derivatives is used for the velocity and magnetic field. The vector potential formulation has been chosen for the description of the applied magnetic field to handle the influences of solenoidal coils and induced azimuthal current density on the magnetic field. The numerical scheme is based on a two-dimensional, axisymmetric finite volume method on unstructured, adaptive meshes.
