采用流体方法数值研究了斜磁场作用下的等离子体鞘层结构.模拟结果显示磁场对鞘层结构有显著的影响,特别是在磁鞘边界附近离子的密度分布产生了明显的变化.分别讨论了离子垂直入射和斜入射两种情况,当离子斜入射进鞘层时,其运动情况要相对复杂一些.在适当的条件下,洛伦兹力的作用使离子在某些区域产生相对聚集,离子密度分布产生波动.
The structure of plasma sheath in an oblique magnetic field is numerically investigated by using fluid dynamics method.The simulation results reveal that the magnetic field has significant effects on the plasma sheath.Especially,the ion density distribution near the sheath edge changes obviously.Two cases of ion incidence are considered here.The action states of ions are more complicated when the ions enter the sheath with an oblique incidence angle.Under suitable conditions,Lorentz force induces fluctuations in the ion density.Ions could gather in some regions.
