Copyright c ©2017 by the Aerospace Plasma Laboratory, Technion. Published by the Electric Rocket Propulsion Society with permission. A multiscale model was developed for the channel of a CoAxial Magnetically Insulated Long Anode (CAMILA) Hall effect thruster. The computational domain was subdivided into a region where a hybrid solver is used and a region where a fully kinetic particle in cell s...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of the Cathode Plume of a Hall Thruster
The plasma plume generated by the cathode of a 6-kW laboratory Hall thruster is modeled using a hybrid particle-fluid method. The approach utilizes the direct simulation Monte Carlo method to simulate the collision dynamics of heavy particles, the particle-in-cell method to model the transport of heavy species including the effects of electrostatic fields on the ions, and a “fluid” method that ...
متن کاملBismuth Hall Thruster I: Simulation-suggested Design and Performance
A two-dimensional radial-axial hybrid simulation of the xenon-fueled Stanford Hall Thruster has been adapted to model a bismuth-fed thruster with varying channel geometry. The simulation treats the electrons as a quasi-one-dimensional fluid and the neutrals and ions as discrete superparticles advanced using a particle-in-cell (PIC) approach. Since experimental data of the electron cross-field m...
متن کاملAnomalous 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...
