| Popis: |
Novel quasi-one-dimensional, electrostatic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of magnetic nozzles were performed to study the energy exchange, particle acceleration, and instabilities in a magnetic nozzle. Field-particle and particle-particle energy exchange were both studied to fully characterize energy exchange in the magnetic nozzle. The effects of instabilities on the thermal behavior of the plasma were also investigated. Research results and design implications will be discussed. |
