Anomalous electron mobility modeling in Hall thrusters
Accurate modeling of the anomalous electron mobility is crucial for successful simulation of Hall thrusters. Existing computational models for the anomalous electron mobility are used to simulate the UM/AFRL P5 Hall thruster in a 2D axisymmetric hybrid PIC-MCC code. Comparison to experimental results indicates that while these computational models can be tuned to reproduce the correct thrust or...
متن کاملScaling laws and electron properties in Hall effect thrusters
i Acknowledgements The present dissertation is the result of over 3 years of research work in the field of Hall thrusters. Although obtaining a PhD requires a complete independent work, it can never be successfully accomplished without the help and support of an entire network of people. I would like to take this opportunity to thank and acknowledge all the people that have helped along the way...
متن کاملModeling of anomalous electron mobility in Hall thrusters
Accurate modeling of the anomalous electron mobility is absolutely critical for successful simulation of Hall thrusters. In this work, existing computational models for the anomalous electron mobility are used to simulate the UM/AFRL P5 Hall thruster a 5 kW laboratory model in a two-dimensional axisymmetric hybrid particle-in-cell Monte Carlo collision code. Comparison to experimental results i...
متن کاملMultiscale Modeling of Hall Thrusters
Multiscale Modeling of Hall Thrusters Hall thrusters are efficient space propulsion devices that produce thrust by accelerating quasineutral plasma. The thruster consists of a channel with one end open to the ambient environment. The neutral propellant is injected at the closed end and is ionized by electrons produced by an externally mounted cathode. A radial magnetic field is applied across t...
متن کاملTransport Physics in Hall Plasma Thrusters
An analysis of measurements supporting the presence of anomalous cross-field electron mobility in Hall plasma accelerators is presented. Non-intrusive laser-induced fluorescence measurements of neutral and ionized xenon velocities, and various electrostatic probe diagnostic measurements are used to locally determine the effective electron Hall parameter inside the accelerator channel. These val...
