Ion kinetic effects and instabilities in the plasma flow in the magnetic mirror
Marilyn Jimenez, Andrei Smolyakov, Oleksandr Chapurin +1
Kinetic effects in plasma flow due to a finite ion temperature and ion reflections in a converging-diverging magnetic nozzle are investigated with collisionless quasineutral hybrid…
On the mechanism of ionization oscillations in Hall thrusters
O. Chapurin, A. Smolyakov, G. Hagelaar +1
Low frequency ionization oscillations involving plasma and neutral density (breathing modes) are the most violent perturbations in Hall thrusters for electric propulsion. Because o…
Nonlinear structures and anomalous transport in partially magnetized plasmas
Salomon Janhunen, Andrei Smolyakov, Oleksandr Chapurin +3
Nonlinear dynamics of the electron-cyclotron instability driven by the electron current in crossed electric and magnetic field is studied. In nonlinear regime…
