Numerical simulation of discharge characteristics of Hall thruster system
Based on PIC-MCC algorithm,a functional modular numerical simulation platform(HD-HER)was developed and the discharge characteristics of Hall propulsion system were studied numerically..The distribution of electrons and ions inside and outside the discharge channel,ion velocity and thrust are obtained..The experimental results are in good agreement with those experimental results of PSAC laboratory,which provides theoretical guidance for the improvement and optimization of Hall propulsion system.
