High order (HO) schemes are attractive candidates for the numerical solution of multiscale
problems occurring in fluid dynamics and related disciplines. Among the HO discretization …

A generalized finite-rate surface chemistry framework incorporating a comprehensive list of
reaction mechanisms is developed and implemented into the direct simulation Monte Carlo …

This paper presents the development and validation of hybridDCFoam, a coupled
DSMC/Navier–Stokes–Fourier solver, for simulating steady-state multiscale rarefied gas …

Small m N-class gridded ion thrusters are usually tested in a vacuum chamber without the
use of a neutralizer, relying on self-neutralization of the ion beam due to interaction with …

This paper presents uniGasFoam, an open-source particle-based solver for multiscale
rarefied gas flow simulations, which has been developed within the well-established …

In recent years, the interaction of electrons with the electromagnetic field in plasma at low
pressure has received significant attention because of its high application. In low-pressure …

In the last 30 years, numerical models have been developed to properly analyze Hall effect
thrusters (HET), leading to a bridge between analytical prediction/empirical intuition and …

This Ph. D. thesis deals with simulation of Langmuir probe measurements in lowtemperature
plasma. The main aim is to explore the validity of the OML (Orbital Motion Limited) theory …

PIC/MC model was used for the calculation of I–V characteristics of emissive (electron-
emitting) probe. The calculations were focused on the determination of floating probe …
