Reduced-order particle-in-cell simulations of a high-power magnetically shielded Hall thruster
Maryam Reza, Farbod Faraji, Aaron Knoll +3
High-power magnetically shielded Hall thrusters have recently emerged to meet the needs of the next-generation space missions. Even though a few such thrusters are currently underg…
Effects of the neutral dynamics model on the particle-in-cell simulations of a Hall thruster plasma discharge
Farbod Faraji, Maryam Reza, Aaron Knoll
The dynamics of the neutral atoms in Hall thrusters affect several plasma processes, from the ionization to the electrons' mobility. In the context of Hall thruster's particle-in-c…
Verification of the generalized reduced-order particle-in-cell scheme in a radial-azimuthal ExB plasma configuration
Farbod Faraji, Maryam Reza, Aaron Knoll
In this article, we present an in-depth verification of the generalized electrostatic reduced-order particle-in-cell (PIC) scheme in a cross electric and magnetic field configurati…
Enhancing one-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations to self-consistently resolve instability-induced electron transport in Hall thrusters
Farbod Faraji, Maryam Reza, Aaron Knoll
The advent of high-power Hall thrusters and the increasing interest towards their use as a primary propulsion system for various missions have given a new boost to the efforts aimi…
