A two-dimensional axisymmetric model is developed to study the characteristics of three-grid electron cyclotron resonance ion thruster optics. The code is based on a particle-in-cell combined with the Monte Carlo collision method to simulate ion dynamics and charge-exchange processes in the grid region. The simulation results show that the mode can give a reasonable estimate of the physics characteristics of the ion optics. The design of the ion optics satisfies the requirement of preventing electron backstreaming. Charge-exchange ions can cause damage to the grids, especially to the accelerator grid. ＇Barrel＇ erosion can increase the accelerator grid aperture radius at a rate of 1.91~ 10-11 m/s, while the decelerator grid plays an important role in reducing ＇pits-and-grooves＇ erosion.展开更多

These ion data are first discussed and then validated from comparisons between the calculated transport coefficients and those measured in the literature.

Widely distributed polydisperse particle population is a typical characteristic during dynamic evolution of particles （e.g., agglomeration and fragmentation） in spite of their initial monodisperse particle distribution. The conventional direct simulation Monte Carlo （DSMC） method for particle collision tracks equally weighted simulation particles, which results in high statistical noise for particle fields if there are insufficient simulation particles in less-populated regions. In this study, a new differentially weighted DSMC （DW-DSMC） method for collisions of particles with different number weight is proposed within the framework of the general Eulerian-Lagrangian models for hydrodynamics. Three schemes （mass, momentum and energy conservation） were developed to restore the numbers of simulation particle while keeping total mass, momentum or energy of the whole system unchanged respectively. A limiting case of high-inertia particle flow was numerically simulated to validate the DW-DSMC method in terms of computational precision and efficiency. The momentum conservation scheme which leads to little fluctuation around the mass and energy of the whole system performed best. Improved resolution in particle fields and dynamic behavior could be attained simultaneously using DW-DSMC, compared with the equally weighted DSMC.
