Plasma propulsion simulation using particles
F. Taccogna, F. Cichocki, D. Eremin +2
This perspective paper deals with an overview of particle-in-cell / Monte Carlo collision models applied to different plasma-propulsion configurations and scenarios, from electrost…
Lessons learned after three years of SPIDER operation and the first MITICA integrated tests
D. Marcuzzi, V. Toigo, M. Boldrin +139
ITER envisages the use of two heating neutral beam injectors plus an optional one as part of the auxiliary heating and current drive system. The 16.5 MW expected neutral beam power…
Perspectives on Physics of ExB Discharges Relevant to Plasma Propulsion and Similar Technologies
Igor D. Kaganovich, Andrei Smolyakov, Yevgeny Raitses +22
This paper provides perspectives on recent progress in the understanding of the physics of devices where the external magnetic field is applied perpendicularly to the discharge cur…
Self consistent kinetic simulations of SPT and HEMP thrusters including the near-field plume region
K. Matyash, R. Schneider, A. Mutzke +4
The Particle-in-Cell (PIC) method was used to study two different ion thruster concepts - Stationary Plasma Thrusters (SPT) and High Efficiency Multistage Plasma Thrusters (HEMP-T)…
