A 3-D electron fluid model has been developed as a stepping stone to fully describe the electron current flow across magnetic fields inside a vacuum chamber and to provide electron flux to solar arrays for spacecraft surface charging model. A detailed description of the numerical treatment of the electric potential solver, including finite-volume formulation, implementation, and the treatment of boundary conditions, are presented in this paper. Verification tests of the model are presented.
