Impact of Azimuthal Magnetic Field Inhomogeneity on Hall Thruster high-frequency azimuthal instability via 2D radial-azimuthal PIC simulations
Zhijun Zhou, Xin Luo, Yinjian Zhao +1
For the SPT-type Hall thrusters, the magnetic structure with magnetic conductive columns leads inherent to azimuthally inhomogeneous magnetic configurations. This azimuthal magneti…
