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…

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…
