Lower-Hybrid Drift Instabilities in a magnetic nozzle
Matteo Ripoli, Eduardo Ahedo, Mario Merino
Magnetic nozzles are a key component of electrodeless plasma thrusters, acting as their main acceleration stage. Non-stationary phenomena common to the entire range of …
A study of an air-breathing electrodeless plasma thruster discharge
Jiewei Zhou, Francesco Taccogna, Pablo Fajardo +1
Plasma chemistry of main air components is implemented in a hybrid 2D axisymmetric simulation code to assess the air-breathing concept in an electrodeless plasma thruster. Relevant…
Effect of injection conditions on the non-linear behavior of the ECDI and related turbulent transport
Enrique Bello-Benítez, Alberto Marín-Cebrián, Eduardo Ahedo
The electron-cyclotron drift instability (ECDI) has been proposed as one of the main actors behind the anomalous transport of electrons in Hall plasmas. In this work, we revisit th…
