The Development of a Hybrid Particle-in-Cell Simulation Code in C++ for the Modeling of the SPT-70 Hall Thruster

Creator:

Myers, Conner J.

Abstract:

In order to support the growing satellite propulsion industry, a hybrid Particle-In-Cell (PIC) simulation with fluid treatment of electrons and neutral particles was developed to model the SPT-70 Hall thruster. The 2D, C++ code assumes azimuthal symmetry and a uniform magnetic field in the radial direction with the simulation domain...

Analysis of Asymmetric Heating on a Scaled High Temperature Gas Reactor Experiment During a Pressurized Conduction Cooldown

Creator:

Moore, Thomas

Abstract:

Among the candidates for the next generation of nuclear power plant is the high temperature gas reactor (HTGR). Since the HTGR does not have the same operational history as water cooled reactors do in the United States, investigation into the response of different accident phenomena is still an active area...
