Finite element modeling of gas flows around the Taylor cone in the CHeES nozzle underscore the effectiveness of gas shielding to prevent corona discharge. Fractional gas concentrations of (a) CO2, (b) N2 and (c) helium indicate that a large protective CO2 sheet can form around the Taylor cone. (d) A safe gas atmosphere composition similar to the conventional electrospray injection extends about half way from the tip of the Taylor cone to the counter electrode.
