  1. 1. Analysis of Hall effect thrusters using Hybrid PIC simulations and coupling to EP plume

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : David Villegas Prados; [2020]
    Keywords : Hallis; SPIS; EP; plume; hybrid PIC; Hall effect; HET; inside channel; plume expansion;

    Abstract : In the last 30 years, numerical models have been developed to properly analyze Hall eect thrusters (HET),leading to a bridge between analytical prediction/empirical intuition and experiments. For companies in thespace sector, these codes serve to much more than simply simulating the thruster, but it provides a fast, cheapand reliable tool for processes such as validation and verication procedures, as well as for technical developmentof the thruster.

  2. 2. Development of a hybrid PIC code for the simulation of plasma spacecraft interactions

    University essay from KTH/Rymd- och plasmafysik

    Author : Matthieu Masselin; [2012]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Electric propulsion is gaining popularity in space industry. This type of propulsion is replacing chemical propulsion for different maneuvers. But it deeply modifies the ambient plasma that surrounds the satellites and can affect the operation of satellites. Modelling the interactions arising from electric propulsion is then critical.

  3. 3. PIC/FLIP Fluid Simulation Using Block-Optimized Grid Data Structure

    University essay from Institutionen för teknik och naturvetenskap

    Author : Fredrik Salomonsson; [2011]
    Keywords : PIC; FLIP; Boost.Python; fluid; Python; Blobbies; Improved Blobbies; Data structure; Partio;

    Abstract : This thesis work will examin and present how to implement a Particle-In-Cell and a Fluid-Implicit-Particle (PIC / FLIP) fluid solver that takes advantage of the inherent parallelism of Digital Domain's sparse block optimized data structure, DB-Grid. The methods offer a hybrid approach between particle and grid based simulation. READ MORE
