A fluid model for ion heating due to ionization in a plasma flow

Abstract: A mechanism of ion heating due to local ionization in a plasma flow with hot electrons and initially cold ions is described. It is shown that the ion temperature can increase significantly as the ions are accelerated to the ion-acoustic speed, provided there is significant ionization in the acceleration region. The fluid model describing ionization ion heating includes particle, momentum, and energy balance equations for ion species. Using this model with parameters characteristic of gas-dynamic electron cyclo… Show more

“…At this experimental setup plasma is created and electrons are heated by 37.5 GHz gyrotron radiation with power up to 100 kW in a simple mirror trap under ECR condition. Using of such high frequency of microwave (in comparison with conventional ECRIS's) allows to create and sustain plasma with significantly higher density (up to 2•10 13 cm −3 ) [9] and at the same time to maintain the main advantages of conventional ECRIS such as high ionization degree and low ion energy (on the order of a few eV) [10]. Reaching such high plasma density relies on the fact that the critical density for the microwave radiation grows with the frequency squared.…”
