Abstract

This PhD focuses on modeling and understanding physics of wave–plasma interactions in Electrodeless Plasma Thrusters (EPTs) using a 2D full-wave solver. Coupled with plasma simulations, it aims to optimize power deposition in EPTs and study helicon wave mode transitions in Helicon Plasma Thrusters.
