一种提高空心阴极推力器推力的发射体外置方法

为提高空心阴极推力器的比冲,研究了空心阴极发射体外置的方法,对比研究了发射体外置和内置两种结构的空心阴极推力器的推力和比冲,发现发射体外置的结构相比较于内置结构能够增加推力器的推力和比冲。进一步研究发现,发射体外置的空心阴极推力器引出的离子电流、离子能量要明显高于发射体内置的空心阴极推力器,可以推断发射体外置的阴极推力器存在离子加速喷出增大推力和比冲的机制。     

飞翼布局飞行器等离子体激励滚转操控试验

飞翼布局飞行器采用多个气动舵面共同作用来控制飞行,常规气动舵面的结构复杂,在大迎角时由于流动分离,舵面操纵效率显著降低。等离子体激励器具有结构简单、重量轻和响应快等优势,常被用在流动控制上。本文利用激励器抑制单侧翼面流动分离产生不对称的气动力,对飞翼布局飞行器滚转通道的控制进行了试验研究,得出了激励器在飞行器上的最优布置位置和最佳控制参数,并和常规副翼舵面滚转操控效果进行了对比。结果表明:布置于内翼、中翼前缘的等离子体激励器能够获得最佳的滚转控制效果;激励器调制频率对飞行器滚转控制效果的影响较大,而激励电压对滚转控制效果的影响较小;与常规副翼相比,等离子体激励器在大迎角时对滚转通道的操控效果优于副翼。     

Charging of dust grains by anisotropic solar wind multi-component plasma

In this paper we study the charging process of small grain particles by anisotropic multi-component solar wind plasmas (electrons, protons and heavy ions), versus two-component (electron/proton) plasmas. We are focusing attention on the important characteristics of the charging process, namely the charging time, floating potential and current content as functions of plasma parameters such as He⁺⁺/H⁺ (α/p) number density and T_α/T_p temperature ratios of alpha particles to protons, as well as plasma streaming velocity v₀. Measured statistical properties of solar wind plasma parameters at 1 AU show considerable variations in α/p-temperature ratios from 1 to 10, in α/p-number density ratio from 0.01 to 0.35, as well as in values of streaming velocity v₀ from 200 km/s to 1000 km/s and more. Periods of these variations could last for several days each, leading to significant variability in the charging process, according to newly derived general analytical expressions. Numerical calculations performed for protons/alphas plasmas showed large disparity in the charging characteristics. For example, in anisotropic plasma, grain charging time varies up to 90% depending on α/p-particles temperature and number density ratios, whereas changes in floating potential are up to 40%. In contrast, in isotropic plasma, charging characteristic for grains do not change very much for the same plasma parameters variations, with charging time varying about 12% and floating potential only varying about 4%. It is also shown that in highly anisotropic plasma, with all ballistic electrons and ions, dust grains could not hold their charges, and characteristic discharged time is calculated. We note that the analysis is equally applicable to any sized body immersed in solar wind plasma.     

Kinetic theory of sheath formation in solar wind plasma

We present a general self-consistent kinetic theory for plasma sheath formation in solar wind plasma. The theory could be applied to anisotropic, as well as to isotropic collisionless plasma without resorting to any simplifications, limitations, or assumptions, such as the necessary existence of a ‘pre-sheath’ region of ions acceleration to ensure the Bohm criterion. The kinetic framework is first applied to sheath formation around an arbitrary oriented planar absorbing surface, charged by solar wind anisotropic plasma, under the condition of negligible photoelectric effect. We then make use of our kinetic approach for the plane geometry in isotropic collisionless plasma, as a particular case of a planar electrode orientation parallel to plasma streaming velocity, also analyzing the sheath structure around spherical and cylindrical absorbing electrodes submerged in isotropic collisionless plasma. Obtained results demonstrate principal differences in spatial charge distributions in sheath regions between spherical or cylindrical electrodes of large size and an unbound planar surface submerged in isotropic plasma. In the case of a planar electrode, we directly compare results obtained in our kinetic and hydrodynamic theories and conventional hydrodynamic theory of plasma sheath formation. The outcome from the present study have direct implications to the analysis of plasma sheath structure and associated distribution in space of charged dust grains, which is relevant to the moon exploration near the optical terminator region or in shadowed craters in the moon.
