Data-driven analysis of anomalous transport and three-wave-coupling effects in E x B plasma discharges
Borja Bayón-Buján, Enrique Bello-Benítez, Jiewei Zhou +1
Collisionless cross-field electron transport in an E x B configuration relevant for electric propulsion is studied using data from a (z, θ) full-PIC simulation. Higher-order spectr…

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…

Analysis of a cusped helicon plasma thruster discharge
Pedro Jimenez, Jiewei Zhou, Jaume Navarro +3
A compact helicon plasma thruster that features a cusp in its internal magnetic field is analyzed with experiments and simulations. A compensated Langmuir probe and a Faraday cup a…
