چکیده
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 regularization. Optimal number and positions of magnetic sensors were determined and the solutions using simulated measurements with and without simulated noise were obtained.

An annular field reversed configuration (AFRC) plasma thruster concept is being developed by AFRL and the University of Michigan. This concept is derived from the coaxial slow source FRC fusion reactor concept developed at the University of Washington and has been re-tooled for space propulsion applications. A scaling energy model, commercial magnetic field model, and a proof-of-concept experim...
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...

A hybrid particle-fluid method is applied to model the plasma plume from a Hall thruster operated in the 12V vacuum chamber at the Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC). The method uses the direct simulation Monte Carlo method and Particle In Cell method to simulate the xenon atoms and ions. A fluid electron model is employed that is based on the Boltzmann relation. The complex geometric...
