Near-Wall Pathways of Anomalous Electron Transport in Hall Thrusters Revealed by 3D PIC Simulations
Zhe Liu, Zhongping Zhao, Yinjian Zhao
Cross-field electron transport in Hall thrusters is widely attributed to high-frequency instabilities, yet its net spatial pathway remains poorly resolved. Here we perf…
Unperturbed-orbit integration and the 3D kinetic dispersion relation of the electron cyclotron drift instability
Yinjian Zhao
High-frequency instabilities in crossed-field () plasmas are widely implicated in anomalous cross-field electron transport in Hall thrusters and related devices.…
The effect of ion rotational flow on Hall thruster azimuthal instability via two dimensional PIC simulations
Zhijun Zhou, Lihuan Xie, Xin Luo +2
Previous experimental studies have found that the neutral gas rotational flow in the opposite direction of electron Hall drift can lead to better experimental results comparing to…
3D PIC Study of Magnetic Field Effects on Hall Thruster Electron Drift Instability
KunPeng Zhong, Demai Zeng, Yinjian Zhao +1
To fully characterize electron drift instability, a critical phenomenon governing electron transport in Hall thrusters, large-scale three-dimensional (3D) particle-in-cell (PIC) si…
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…
Numerical study on wave attenuation via 2D fully kinetic electromagnetic particle-in-cell simulations
Fei Du, Yize Yan, Jingfeng Tang +2
The propagation and absorption of electromagnetic waves in plasma is one of the fundamental issues in plasma physics. The electromagnetic particle-in-cell method with the finite-di…
