Abstract

A one-dimensional hydrodynamic model of the atom, ion, and electron dynamics in the channel of a stationary plasma thruster is developed. The relevant set of integrodifferential equations is derived and investigated both analytically (steady-state solutions) and numerically (dynamic regimes). It is shown that adjusting only one parameter (the channel resistivity) makes it possible to achieve a good agreement between the calculated global parameters and experimental data. The general features of oscillations revealed with the help of the model are also found to agree fairly well with the experiment.
