A Reduced-Order Particle-in-Cell Method with Azimuthal Fourier-Decomposed Fields for Nominally Axisymmetric Plasmas
Shaun Andrews
A reduced-order Particle-in-Cell method is introduced for kinetic simulation of otherwise axisymmetric cylindrical plasmas that exhibit azimuthal instabilities. The method spatiall…
Axial-radial plasma transport and performance of a plasma thruster magnetic nozzle under Bohm's anomalous diffusion scaling
Shaun Andrews, Raoul Andriulli, Nabil Souhair +2
Magnetic nozzles (MN) are known to be subject to anomalous non-collisional diffusion mechanisms driven by instabilities and wave-particle interactions. This study therefore employs…
Fully kinetic study of facility pressure effects on RF-source magnetic nozzles
Raoul Andriulli, Shaun Andrews, Nabil Souhair +2
A fully kinetic 2D axisymmetric Particle-in-Cell (PIC) model is used to examine the effects of background facility pressure on the plasma transport and propulsive efficiency of mag…
Fully kinetic model of plasma expansion in a magnetic nozzle
Shaun Andrews, Simone Di Fede, Mirko Magarotto
A self-consistent model is presented for performing steady-state fully kinetic Particle-in-Cell simulations of magnetised plasma plumes. An energy-based electron reflection prevent…
