Numerical investigation of reversed gas feed configurations for Hall thrusters
Stefano Boccelli, Thierry E. Magin, Aldo Frezzotti
A reversed gas feed configuration for Hall thrusters is proposed and studied numerically. As an alternative to standard direct injection, we investigate the effect of injecting the…
A 14-moment maximum-entropy description of electrons in crossed electric and magnetic fields
Stefano Boccelli, Fabien Giroux, Thierry E. Magin +2
A 14-moment maximum-entropy system of equations is applied to the description of non-equilibrium electrons in crossed electric and magnetic fields and in the presence of low collis…
Collisionless ion modeling in Hall thrusters: analytical axial velocity distribution function and heat flux closures
Stefano Boccelli, Thomas Charoi, Alejandro Alvarez-Laguna +3
The genesis of the ion axial velocity distribution function (VDF) is analyzed for collisionless Hall thruster discharges. An analytical form for the VDF is obtained from the Vlasov…
Lagrangian diffusive reactor for detailed thermochemical computations of plasma flows
Stefano Boccelli, Federico Bariselli, Bruno Dias +1
The simulation of thermochemical nonequilibrium for the atomic and molecular energy level populations in plasma flows requires a comprehensive modeling of all the elementary collis…
