چکیده
Abstract A hybrid Fluid-Kinetic model based on a polymorphic Particle-in-Cell method is developed for the simulation of plasmas in ion thruster. The numerical scheme suited scenarios which thermal ions or electrons undergo strong acceleration. PIC tested extraction region an In this paper, we report results achieved by implementing single orifice and compare our with from known IGUN software extraction.

Hybrid-PIC Simulation of a Hall Thruster
Although several operational codes are available for the prediction of plume dynamics of Hall thrusters and their interactions with spacecraft surfaces, their coverage of the range of physical phenomena involved and their ability to model complex geometries and material combinations has tended to be fairly restricted. We have initiated the development of a more comprehensive suite of models int...

متن کاملElectromagnetic gyrokinetic-ion drift-fluid-electron hybrid simulation
Progress on gyrokinetic-ion drift-fluid-electron hybrid simulation is reported. Simulation results are shown from a threedimensional toroidal electromagnetic simulation using field-line-following coordinates. It is found that for β & 1.5% there is strong destabilization of Alfvénic ion-temperature-gradient (ITG) driven instabilities. Nonlinear results show a corresponding increase in the the io...
متن کاملHybrid kinetic/fluid models for nonequilibrium systems
Our purpose is to derive a model describing the evolution of particles at various scales following their kinetic energy. Fast particles will be described through a collisional kinetic equation of Boltzmann-BGK type. This equation will be coupled with a fluid model (Euler equations) that describes the evolution of slower particles. The main interest of this approach is to reduce the cost of nume...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of High Specific Impulse Ion Thruster Optics
A high specific impulse ion thruster (HiIsp-IT) operated at a voltage of 10 kV has been studied and the problems of direct ion impingement on the accelerating grid and of production and impingement of charge-exchange ions have been considered. In order to investigate these problems and to facilitate the design of HiIsp-IT grid systems, a three-dimensional particle simulation code (“igx”) that e...
