Resonance cone interaction with a self-consistent radio-frequency sheath.

We study the propagation of lower-hybrid-type resonance cones in a tenuous magnetized plasma, and, in particular, their interaction with, and reflection from, the plasma sheath near a conducting wall. The sheath is modeled as a vacuum gap whose width is given by the Child-Langmuir law. The application of interest is when the resonance cones are launched (parasitically) by an ion-cyclotron radio...

Numerical Analysis of Radio-Frequency Sheath-Plasma Interactions in the Ion Cyclotron Range of Frequencies

Electromagnetic plasma waves in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) are routinely used in magnetic fusion experiments to heat plasmas and drive currents. However, many experiments have revealed that wave energy losses in the plasma edge and at the wall are significant, and detected that the acceleration of ions into the walls due to the formation of radio-frequency (RF) sheaths is one...

ITER Relevant Simulations of Lower Hybrid and Ion Cyclotron Waves with Self-Consistent Non-Maxwellian Species

The next step toward fusion as a practical energy source is the design and construction of ITER. ITER relies in part on ion-cyclotron radio frequency (ICRF) power to heat the deuterium-tritium plasma to fusion temperatures as well as to provide a portion of the current during flat-top operations. Lower hybrid (LH) RF power is under consideration as an upgrade to the baseline heating and current...

Numerical Approximation of Self-Consistent Vlasov Models for Low-Frequency Electromagnetic Phenomena

We present a new numerical method to solve the Vlasov-Darwin and Vlasov-Poisswell systems which are approximations of the Vlasov-Maxwell equation in the asymptotic limit of the infinite speed of light. These systems model low-frequency electromagnetic phenomena in plasmas, and thus “light waves” are somewhat supressed, which in turn allows the numerical discretization to dispense with the Coura...

Multiscale Modeling of Hall Thrusters

Multiscale Modeling of Hall Thrusters Hall thrusters are efficient space propulsion devices that produce thrust by accelerating quasineutral plasma. The thruster consists of a channel with one end open to the ambient environment. The neutral propellant is injected at the closed end and is ionized by electrons produced by an externally mounted cathode. A radial magnetic field is applied across t...
