摘要: 采用二维三分量静电粒子模拟程序研究了电子环束流对低轨道磁化等离子体中运行的航天器表面电位和等离子体鞘层结构的影响.当有电子束流平行磁场入射时,航天器表面所带负电位的绝对值将增大.电子束流的速度和密度的增加将使航天器表面负电位绝对值增加很快.与此同时等离子体鞘层的尺度也将增大,形状将由向尾部延伸的“泪滴”状变成向两侧展开的“机翼”状.当电子环束流以相对于磁场成一定角度斜入射时,由于磁场的约束作用,航天器表面负电位的绝对值将随入射角增大而减小.Abstract: The effects of electron ring-beam on the satellite surface potential and plasmasheath in magnetized plasma of low earth orbit are studied by means of 21/2-Delectrostatic code. The simulation results show that the satellite is charged negatively when there exists electron beam, and the increase of the density and velocityof electron beams increase the absolute value of satellite negative potential. Whenelectron ring-beams are injected in an oblique angle with respected to the magneticfield, the effects of electron ring-beams decrease when the oblique injection angleincreases from 0° to 90°. The plasma sheath becomes wider when there is electronring-beam and its shape changes from "tear drop" to "fan".
