Scientific paper

A two-dimensional magnetized plasma fluid simulation is developed to investigate the electron magnetic filtering in an electronegative plasma and the formation of an ion-ion plasma (electron-free plasma). The model uses the three first moments of the Boltzmann equation, namely the continuity equation, the conservation of momentum approximated by the drift-diffusion equation and an energy equation for the electrons. The various reaction rates, mobility and diffusion constants (accounting for the presence of an axial magnetic field) are calculated from experimental cross-sections by using a Boltzmann solver. Preliminary results and applications to space plasma propulsion are presented.
