Abstract

This paper gives instructions on how to build a 3-D particle-based model of a Hall microthruster. Due to nonequilibrium character induced by low electron thermalization and isotropization rates, presence of different microinstabilities and strong plasma-surface interaction, a multidimensional and kinetic description is necessary. The different modules characterizing the particle-in-cell/Monte Carlo collision cycle are described presenting the last algorithms developed. The model is applied to the study of an SPT20 configuration. Results confirm the importance of a 3-D structure of the discharge with self-organized azimuthal structures. Important deviations from Maxwellian behavior have been detected.

  • A popular workaround is to substitute the classical finite-difference time-domain algorithm by solving for the EM fields induced by the RF antenna in the frequency domain using the Helmholtz equation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
