霍尔推力器由于推力密度大、结构简单等特点,在商业航天领域具有广泛的应用前景.为了进一步提升小功率霍尔推力器的性能,克服低轨卫星用小功率霍尔推力器性能受限于输入功率和最大磁场强度的问题,本文利用数值模拟和理论分析方法研究了霍尔推力器放电通道中径向磁场分布对推力器性能的影响.在轴向磁场分布和最大径向磁场强度一定的情况下,通过改变径向磁场梯度实现径向磁场对推力器性能影响的研究.结果表明,在放电参数、推进剂流率以及轴向磁场不变的情况下,加速区的电势随着径向距离的增加而减小.因此,靠近推力器放电通道内壁侧的径向磁场梯度越大,离子沿着轴向漂移到达推力器出口的动能越大,推力器的推力越大.本文的研究结果为霍尔推力器的磁场设计,性能优化提供了理论支撑. 相似文献

真空背压的变化会改变进入霍尔推力器放电通道内的背景气体量,对工质的电离、电子的传导等物理过程产生影响,从而进一步影响到推力器的宏观放电特性.为分析真空背压对推力器放电的影响规律,通过向真空罐输入流量可控的氪气改变真空背压,在不同真空背压下测量通道内原子、离子的发光特性以及出口处离子流的伏安特性.分析结果表明:背景气体返流对通道内工质放电过程具有全局性的影响,提高背压会使通道内的电子温度降低、电离效率降低,并会在通道内形成一个新的电离区,且背压越高,该电离区距推力器阳极越近. 相似文献

电子回旋共振(electron cyclotron resonance, ECR)源具有无需内电极、低气压电离、等离子体密度较高和结构紧凑等优点,适用于小功率电推进.因此,研究小功率碘工质ECR等离子体源具有重要意义.本文首先设计了一套耐腐蚀且可以均衡稳定输出碘蒸汽的储供系统;然后完成了耐碘腐蚀ECR推力器设计,利用耐腐蚀的同轴谐振腔结构将微波馈送到推力器,并将通道磁场变为会切型磁场以产生更多ECR层;最终联合点火实验成功,成为国际上首个可以用于电推进的ECR电离碘工质等离子体源.分析实验和静磁场、微波电场分布发现,小功率、低流量下的不稳定等离子体羽流闪烁由寻常波电子等离子体共振加热和非寻常波ECR加热模式之间的转化引起.高流量下电离率下降是由电子损失、壁面损失和碘工质电负性导致.并依据此原理提出了改进方案.放电后等离子体源没有明显损伤,说明具备长寿命潜力.此项工作初步证实了小功率碘工质ECR电推进方案可行. 相似文献

束流离子生产成本和推进剂利用率是表征离子推力器放电室性能的重要参数。在考虑不改变放电室几何结构、磁场分布并保持离子推力器比冲和效率的前提下,利用一维经验分析模型对兰州空间技术物理研究所研制的LIPS-200离子推力器放电室性能进行了优化分析,以实现推力器的推力从40 mN提高到60 mN的目标要求。分析结果表明,提高放电室推进剂流率至2.06 mg/s,放电室内放电电流维持在6.9 A,放电室内平均氙离子密度达到2.1671017 m-3时,可以保证引出1.2 A的束流,推力器达到60 mN的推力。与之对应的推进剂利用率为92%,束流离子生产成本约为188.515 W/A,相比推力40 mN时,推进剂利用率为88%、束流离子生产成本为188.29 W/A的情况,放电室性能有所提高。另外,放电室性能优化过程中其鞘层电位始终保持在3.80~6.65 eV范围内。 相似文献

The characteristics of low‐frequency oscillations of double‐stage Hall thrusters are quite different from those of conventional single‐stage Hall thrusters. In this paper, the effects of double‐stage discharge on the low‐frequency oscillations are experimentally investigated. The results indicate that the amplitude significantly decreases with increasing magnetic field strength and voltage during the ionization stage. Meanwhile, data analysis reveals that ionization occurs in both stages and that the transport ion current between the two stages is the key factor that affects the amplitude and main frequency of the oscillations. Two new processes, namely the ion transport and ion recombination caused by double‐stage discharge, are found to be relevant to the change in the current oscillations. To summarize, the ionization stage relieves the oscillations in the acceleration stage, leading to a reduction in the amplitude of the discharge current. 相似文献

The effect of magnetic mirror on near wall conductivity is studied in the acceleration region of Hall thrusters. The electron dynamics process in the plasma is described by test particle method, in which electrons are randomly emitted from the centerline towards the inner wall of the channel. It is found that the effective collision coefficient, i.e. the rate of electrons colliding with the wall, changes dramatically with the magnetic mirror effect being considered; and that it decreases further with the increase of magnetic mirror ratio to enhance the electron mobility accordingly. In particular, under anistropic electron velocity distribution conditions, the magnetic mirror effect becomes even more prominent. Furthermore, due to decrease in magnetic mirror ratio from the exhaust plane to the anode in Hall thrusters, the axial gradient of electron mobility with magnetic mirror effect is greater than without it. The magnetic mirror effects on electron mobility are derived analytically and the results are found in agreement with the simulation. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献

The existing scaling theories of Hall thrusters are based on the hypothesis of a one‐dimensional straight magnetic field, which is not suitable for the design of modern thrusters with a two‐dimensional curved magnetic field. In this paper, using the equation analysis method, we derive new similarity criterions in a curved magnetic field by analyzing the momentum equations of charged particles; consequently, we propose a new modeling design method for Hall thrusters with a constant discharge voltage. This method is further validated by experiments. A designed model with a power of 1.5 kW is made based on our proposed method from a prototype model with a power of 1 kW. The experimental results demonstrate that these two thrusters have little differences in performance and physical processes as expected from the scaling. Therefore, our method is well suited for designing a Hall thruster with a curved magnetic field (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献

Magnetic field design is important in cylindrical Hall thrusters and using permanent magnets to generate magnetic field is very promising in the future. In two typical permanent magnet configurations (i.e., ring and cylindrical configurations) of cylindrical Hall thrusters, discharge characteristics are compared in this paper through the experiments and simulations. The study shows that the cylindrical configuration can bring about higher thruster performance in the same working condition. The reason is that the potential drop of the cylindrical configuration is mainly concentrated in the channel, which is beneficial for the electrons to obtain energy to promote the ionization of the propellant. However, the voltage regulation range of the cylindrical configuration is lower because the anode is more easily overheated. 相似文献

It is known that the static magnetic field of a Hall thruster remains unchanged with the product of coil current and coil turn kept constant. This is called the ampere‐turns equivalence principle, which is used in the static magnetic field design of Hall thrusters. It is found that the discharge characteristic is different with the same static magnetic field which is formed by the same ampere‐turns but different coil turns. The effects of the fluctuating magnetic field on the static magnetic field are studied experimentally and theoretically, and the effective collision frequency is calculated based on the dispersion relation of coupling oscillations and the estimation of the fluctuating magnetic field. Results indicate that the different coil turns are accompanied by different coupling intensities which lead to different magnetic field fluctuations. The different magnetic field fluctuations cause differences in the effective electron collision frequency and therefore the electron conductivity and the discharge characteristic of Hall thrusters (© 2012 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The scaling design of Hall effect thrusters is based on similarity criteria. Up to now, few of the similarity criteria proposed concern about the inside physical processes of the thruster except Melikov‐Morozov similarity criterion which embodies the ionization of propellant. As many other significant processes, such as electron conduction, ion acceleration and energy exchange, are out of consideration, it is far from enough to direct the thruster design appropriately at present. Therefore, in this paper, we have deduced out many new similarity criteria by analyzing the neutral continuity equation, the ion/electron momentum equations and the electron energy equation with the equation analysis method. By further comparing the magnitudes of source terms of those equations, we obtain certain similarity criteria which are primary and should be guaranteed for modeling design of thrusters. These dominant similarity criteria are finally verified in experiments (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献

A curved, convex towards the channel bottom magnetic field is an important feature of an advanced Hall thruster that allows confining the plasma flow in the channel center, reducing the divergence angle of the ejected ion beam, and improving the discharge performance. In this article, the discharge behaviour of a Hall thruster in magnetic fields with different degrees of curvature is simulated with a particle‐in‐cell numerical method, and the effect of curved magnetic field on the ion bombardment and wall erosion and the associated mechanisms are studied and analysed. The results show that, as the curvature of the magnetic field increases, the propellant ionization becomes more confined at the channel center, the potential drop inside the channel decreases, and the acceleration region shifts outside the channel, which lead to the attenuation of the ion energy bombarding the wall and the deviation of the bombardment angle from the optimal sputtering angle. Conversely, the ion flux bombarding the wall near the channel exit increases. Nevertheless, the bombardment energy and angle are the dominant factors for the wall erosion, and the wall erosion rate clearly decreases with the increasing curvature of the magnetic field. These findings are closely related to the behaviour of electron conduction under a curved magnetic field; the relevant mechanisms are clarified in this article. 相似文献
