The role of noise in PIC and Vlasov simulations of the Buneman instability
Arash Tavassoli, Oleksandr Chapurin, Marilyn Jimenez +7
The effects of noise in particle-in-cell (PIC) and Vlasov simulations of the Buneman instability in unmagnetized plasmas are studied. It is found that, in the regime of low drift v…

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…
