Azimuthal oscillations and dynamics of electrons into channel of Stationary Plasma Thruster

2013 
In the report represents results of numerical calculation the transport electrons into channel stationary plasma thruster in field azimuthal and longitudinal wave. For this calculation have been used characteristics wave obtained from experiment. Results that have been derived by numerical simulation of electron dynamics, analysis Hall parameter, shown, that azimuth wave can increase electron transport velocity along channel thruster. It is shown, that in elastic collisions in wave field the electrons are displaced along the channel to a higher value, than when driving only in a constant field. Increasing transport velocity of electrons by interacting them with azimuthal wave can represent through decreasing "scattering time" τе= τ0 2 /τi, where τ0 - time of scattering electron on neutral atom, τi - ionization time. In taking this in attention Hall parameter have been calculated for two SPD models, operating on Xe and Kr. Comparison this values with experimental values shown, that they enough well coincide between them.
