Numerical investigation of a Hall thruster plasma
The dynamics of the Hall thruster is investigated numerically in the framework of a one-dimensional, multifluid macroscopic description of a partially ionized xenon plasma using finite element formulation. The model includes neutral dynamics, inelastic processes, and plasma–wall interaction. Owing to disparate temporal scales, ions and neutrals have been described by set of time-dependent equat...
متن کاملPlasma flow and plasma–wall transition in Hall thruster channel
In this paper a model of the quasineutral plasma and the transition between the plasma and the dielectric wall in a Hall thruster channel is developed. The plasma is considered using a two-dimensional hydrodynamic approximation while the sheath in front of the dielectric surface is considered to be one dimensional and collisionless. The dielectric wall effect is taken into account by introducin...
متن کاملResearch on Optimization of Onboard Magnetic Diagnostics System of Hall Thruster Plasma IEPC - 2005 - 140
The paper is devoted to the development of Hall thruster plasma non-contact magnetic diagnostics methods applicable for onboard diagnostics system. The approach to Hall current structure determination using steady-state magnetic measurements proposed in our previous work is further developed. The approach is based on inverse magnetostatic problem solution using two-dimensional constrained regul...
متن کاملPrinciples of Hall Thruster Onboard Malfunction Diagnostics Based on Magnetic Field Measurements of Plasma Currents
The possibility of non-contact determination of Hall current structure in the thruster is considered in order to use this information for operational processes diagnostics during flight. The scheme of the diagnostics and the algorithm for experimental data processing are developed. Using the MHD equations, an example of interpretation of hypothetical malfunction based on data on the Hall curren...
متن کاملPlasma Properties in the Plume of a Hall Thruster Cluster
The Hall thruster cluster is an attractive propulsion approach for spacecraft requiring very high-power electric propulsion systems. Plasma density, electron temperature, and plasma potential data collected with a combination of triple langmuir probes and floating emissive probes in the plume of a low-power, four-engine Hall thruster cluster are presented. Simple analytical formulas are introdu...
