| Abstract: |
| To investigate the emission mechanism of indium field emission electric propulsion (FEEP),for advanced thruster based on liquid metal ion sources, a theoretical model of FEEP was modeled and analyzed. The shape and size of the emission region was mathematically described in details and verified through numerical computation. The results show that the dynamic jet with half ellipsoid apex model was an instructive model. The mechanism of ionization for indium atoms was discussed by the analysis from the Taylor theory, combining with hydrodynamics and field emission theory. Field evaporation is found to be the main mechanism of ionization for indium FEEP thruster. |
