Design of an intake and a thruster for an atmosphere-breathing electric propulsion system

Francesco Romano, Thomas Binderup Jensen

Challenging space missions include those at very low altitudes, where the atmosphere is the source of aerodynamic drag on the spacecraft, that finally defines the mission's lifetime, unless a way to compensate for it is provided. This environment is named ...

From pulsed-DCMS and HiPIMS to microwave plasma-assisted sputtering: Their influence on the properties of diamond-like carbon films

Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Johann Michler, Caroline Hain, David Brown, Thomas Nelis

The fabrication of high-hardness non-hydrogenated diamond-like carbon (DLC) via standard magnetron sputtering (MS) is often hindered by the low sputtering yields and ionisation rates of carbon, therefore investigations into pulsed alternatives of MS, else ...

Computational modelling of fine sediment release using SEDMIX device with thrusters

Giovanni De Cesare, Azin Amini, Arianna Yadira Onate Paladines

Problem: Reservoir sedimentation occurs in dams worldwide, reducing the live storage available in the reservoirs. Possible solution: Jenzer-Althaus 2011) testes a water stirring device (called SEDMIX) that keeps sediments in suspension, enhancing its relea ...

A gyrokinetic model for the plasma periphery of fusion devices

Paolo Ricci, Rogério Manuel Cabete De Jesus Jorge, Baptiste Jimmy Frei

Understanding the turbulent dynamics of the plasma in the periphery of fusion devices - the region extending from the external part of the closed flux surface region to the scrape-off layer - is of crucial importance on the way to fusion energy. Indeed, th ...

Electromagnetic, complex image model of a large area RF resonant antenna as inductive plasma source

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne, Rémy Jacquier

A large area antenna generates a plasma by both inductive and capacitive coupling; it is an electromagnetically coupled plasma source. In this work, experiments on a large area planar RF antenna source are interpreted in terms of a multi-conductor transmis ...

Electron-cyclotron-current-drive efficiency in DEMO plasmas

Laurie Porte, Emiliano Fable, Hartmut Zohm, Emanuele Poli, Giovanni Tardini

The achievable efficiency for external current drive through electron-cyclotron waves in a demonstration tokamak reactor is investigated. Two possible reactor designs, one for steady state and one for pulsed operation, are considered. Beam propagation, abs ...

Resonant planar antenna as an inductive plasma source

Christoph Hollenstein, Alan Howling, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne, Sylvain Lecoultre

A resonant planar antenna as an inductive plasma source operating at 13.56 MHz inside a low pressure vacuum vessel is presented for potential plasma processing applications. Its principle consists in interconnecting elementary resonant meshes composed of i ...

Benchmark Of Fluid And Kinetic Simulations Of Type Iii Elming H-Mode On Tcv

Barbora Bruant Gulejová, Richard Pitts

Although the most complex currently available fluid-neutral Monte-Carlo plasma boundary code package, SOLPS, has been a major player in the ITER divertor design, it has not yet been systematically used for the study of kinetic phenomena such as ELM transie ...
