SPT-100 Hall Effect Thruster 3D Plasma Simulation with Side Cathode

A 3D simulation of the near plume of an SPT-100 Hall Effect thruster, created by Cichocki, Filippo and harvested on 2024-05 05. The data was generated using the EP2PLUS code with a hybrid particle-in-cell/fluid formulation to assess the 3D effects of neutralizer position. Results are time-averaged over the final simulation period of 1.6 ms.

Use Cases

• Modeling plasma plume interactions based on the described 3D hybrid PIC/fluid formulation.
• Analyzing the effect of neutralizer placement on thruster performance based on the described side cathode configuration.
• Validating computational fluid dynamics codes for space propulsion using the provided simulation results.
• Studying time-averaged plasma properties in the near-field region of a Hall-effect thruster.

Strengths

• Simulation results are time-averaged over a defined period of 0.2 ms at the final time of 1.6 ms.
• The dataset captures 3D effects from a specific neutralizer position at coordinates x=0.076 m, y=0, z=0.
• Data was generated using a specified 3D simulation code, EP2PLUS, with a hybrid PIC/fluid formulation.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified; last metadata update was 2024-05-05 04:49:54.
