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…
How to build coarse-grain transport models consistent from the kinetic to fluid regimes
Erik Torres, Georgios Bellas-Chatzigeorgis, Thierry E. Magin
In this paper, we examine how to build coarse-grain transport models consistently from the kinetic to fluid regimes. The internal energy of the gas particles is described through a…
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…
Mutation++: MUlticomponent Thermodynamic And Transport properties for IONized gases in C++
James B. Scoggins, Vincent Leroy, Georgios Bellas-Chatzigeorgis +2
The Mutation++ library provides accurate and efficient computation of physicochemical properties associated with partially ionized gases in various degrees of thermal nonequilibriu…
An asymptotic preserving well-balanced scheme for the isothermal fluid equations in low-temperature plasma applications
Alejandro Alvarez Laguna, Teddy Pichard, Thierry Magin +3
We present a novel numerical scheme for the efficient and accurate solution of the isothermal two-fluid (electron and ion) equations coupled to Poisson's equation for low-temperatu…
