| Abstract | In order to better understand the plasma physical mechanism and real important aspect of discharge plasma processes in the ion thruster discharge chamber thoroughly, a muli-component 2-D computational discharge chamber model is developed. Based on the geometric and physical parameters designated, we could obtain the generational process and the distribution of the plasma by using the PIC simulation to trace the trajectory of particles in the discharge chamber and applying the MCC simulation to studying the collision between the particles. The PIC/MCC model developed in this work tracks following particles: neutrals, singly charged ions, doubly charged ions, secondary electrons and primary electrons. |
