Effects of magnetic field gradient and secondary electron emission on instabilities and transport in an ExB plasma configuration
Maryam Reza, Farbod Faraji, Aaron Knoll
Today, partially magnetized low-temperature plasmas (LTP) in an ExB configuration, where the applied magnetic field is perpendicular to the self-consistent electric field, have imp…
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…
Generalized reduced-order particle-in-cell scheme for Hall thruster modeling: concept and in-depth verification in the axial-azimuthal configuration
Maryam Reza, Farbod Faraji, Aaron Knoll
Reduced-order particle-in-cell (PIC) scheme is a novel modeling approach that enables computationally efficient electrostatic kinetic simulations of plasma. In our previous publica…
Dimensionality reduction of Poisson's equation with application to particle-in-cell simulations of Hall thrusters
Maryam Reza, Farbod Faraji, Aaron Knoll
In this article, we introduce a novel dimensionality reduction formulation for the Poisson's equation in the Vlasov-Poisson system that yields a reduced-order particle-in-cell sche…
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…
