Abstract

The problem of a rarefied plasma jet emerging from a stationary plasma engine is considered. The consideration is carried out entirely at the kinetic level; namely, the motion of all plasma components is described in terms of distribution functions. The system of kinetic equations should be solved together with Maxwell’s equations. Methods for solving the resulting problem are discussed.

基于动力学方程的稀薄等离子体射流模拟

摘要

考虑了从固定式等离子发动机中出现的稀薄等离子射流的问题。考虑完全是在动力学层面进行的；也就是说，所有等离子体成分的运动都是用分布函数来描述的。动力学方程组应与麦克斯韦方程组一起求解。讨论了解决所产生问题的方法。
