Effects of the applied fields' strength on the plasma behavior and processes in ExB plasma discharges of various propellants: II. Magnetic field
Maryam Reza, Farbod Faraji, Aaron Knoll
We present in this part II the effects of the magnetic field intensity on the properties of the plasma discharge and the underlying phenomena for different propellant's ion mass. T…
Effects of the applied fields' strength on the plasma behavior and processes in ExB plasma discharges of various propellants: I. Electric field
Maryam Reza, Farbod Faraji, Aaron Knoll
We present, in this two-part article, an extensive study on the influence that the magnitudes of the applied electric (E) and magnetic (B) fields have on a collisionless plasma dis…
Influence of the magnetic field's curvature on the radial-azimuthal dynamics of a Hall thruster plasma discharge with different propellants
Maryam Reza, Farbod Faraji, Aaron Knoll
The topology of the applied magnetic field is an important design aspect of Hall thrusters. For modern Hall thrusters, the field topology most often features curved lines with a co…
Dynamic Mode Decomposition for data-driven analysis and reduced-order modelling of ExB plasmas: II. dynamics forecasting
Farbod Faraji, Maryam Reza, Aaron Knoll +1
In part I of the article, we demonstrated that a variant of the Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) algorithm based on variable projection optimization, called Optimized DMD (OPT-DMD)…
Dynamic Mode Decomposition for data-driven analysis and reduced-order modelling of ExB plasmas: I. Extraction of spatiotemporally coherent patterns
Farbod Faraji, Maryam Reza, Aaron Knoll +1
In this two-part article, we evaluate the utility and the generalizability of the Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) algorithm for data-driven analysis and reduced-order modelling of…
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…
