Hybrid plasma simulations of a magnetically shielded Hall thruster

J. Pereles-Diaz et al.

Summary: Numerical simulations of a magnetically shielded Hall effect thruster with a centrally mounted cathode are described and discussed, focusing on the impact of magnetic configuration and central cathode on plasma behavior. Magnetic shielding significantly reduces energy fluxes, decreases heat loads, and minimizes wall erosion. Injection of neutrals at the central cathode facilitates electron drift and magnetic topology efficiently channels electron current away from lateral walls.

Coupled plasma transport and electromagnetic wave simulation of an ECR thruster

Alvaro Sanchez-Villar et al.

Summary: A numerical simulation was conducted on an electron-cyclotron resonance thruster (ECRT) prototype, showing good agreement with experimental data. The plasma discharge in ECRT is influenced by plasma density and applied magnetic field, resulting in multiple electromagnetic field propagation/evanescence regimes. Power absorption is mainly driven by radial fast electric fields in the electron-cyclotron resonance region, with large cross-field electron temperature gradients observed.

Fluid-kinetic model of a propulsive magnetic nozzle

Mario Merino et al.

Summary: In this study, a kinetic-electron, fluid-ion model is used to investigate 2D plasma expansion in an axisymmetric magnetic nozzle, showing the subdivision of electrons into different sub-populations. The impact of different electron sub-populations, as well as ions, on the magnetic thrust generation is analyzed for various upstream conditions. Additionally, the use of equivalent polytropic models with the same total potential fall is shown to result in a slower expansion rate and underprediction of thrust.

The curling probe: A numerical and experimental study. Application to the electron density measurements in an ECR plasma thruster

Federico Boni et al.

Summary: This paper proposes the use of a curling probe for measuring plasma density in electrodeless plasma thrusters as an alternative to traditional electrostatic techniques. Numerical simulations and experiments demonstrate the accuracy and reliability of the probe in measuring electron density, with results comparable to conventional methods. A possible non-invasive diagnostic method for plasma sources using a wall-embedded curling probe configuration is also suggested.

Time-dependent expansion of a weakly-collisional plasma beam in a paraxial magnetic nozzle

J. Zhou et al.

Summary: The study investigates the transient and steady-state expansion of a weakly-collisional plasma beam in a paraxial magnetic nozzle using a kinetic Boltzmann-Poisson model. The simulations show that occasional collisions progressively populate the phase-space region of isolated trapped electrons until a steady state is reached, characterized by partial occupancy of that region increasing with the collisionality rate. In the downstream region of the expansion, ions and electrons lose all their perpendicular energy but retain part of their parallel thermal energy. The electron heat fluxes of parallel energy are not negligible and are approximately proportional to enthalpy fluxes.

Impact of the Microwave Coupling Structure on an Electron-Cyclotron Resonance Thruster

Simon Peterschmitt et al.

Summary: The electron-cyclotron resonance thruster operates through two energy transfer processes, with the coupling structure playing a crucial role in the first process. Experimental results demonstrate that the coaxial-coupled thruster outperforms the waveguide-coupled thruster in terms of microwave power deposition and xenon mass flow rate.
