Operating a radio-frequency ion thruster (RIT) requires a high frequency current flowing through an induction coil in order to ignite and maintain an inductively coupled plasma

Goebel from America established an RF ion thruster analysis model and calculated discharge loss under the given beam and propellant flow rate based on the hypothesis of volume average plasma. 4 Based on the

You can avoid this by loading particles at x=0 and also doing the density update prior to the push. I left it this way since I didn’t think it made much difference on the solution at

This is the Coulomb force and is given by: \(\vec{F}=\dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}\vec{r}_{12}\). Conceptually, we could simulate plasma by taking a collection of particles representing the
