Interplanetary Medium as Fuel for Plasma Thrusters

We examine the use of the interplanetary substance as a possible fuel for spacecraft plasma thrusters for interplanetary flights. The solar radiation is considered as an energy source for the ionization and the acceleration of particles of captured space environment that is used as drop weight. The method of capturing the space environment, which is dependent on its density, the velocity of the spacecraft, and the power of solar radiation, defines the technical feasibility of this scheme. Both pulsed and continuous operations of the plasma accelerator are possible under some conditions as shown in the estimates.

Amplification of coupled nonlinear oscillations of charged particle beam in crossed magnetic fields

A non-relativistic, charged-particle beam is placed into a crossed magnetic field. For such a system, the nonlinear electrostatic oscillations generation in the different degrees of the beam freedom may be triggered by the energy/momentum exchange between the beam's particles and these external fields. The influence of oscillation dynamics of these fields and beam have been studied based on the cold-fluid hydrodynamic description. As a result, the necessary conditions under resonant amplification of the beam's natural oscillations are identified. Present results demonstrate that the beam density increases when the amplitude of radial and axial velocities increase. This process decreases the radius of the beam over the course of time. The technical application of the process applies in real accelerators such as a gyrotrons, FELs, and cyclotrons, where transverse size is limited by the size of the vacuum chamber. Thus redistribution of energy between the external field and the kinetic energy of the beam can effectively accelerate the beam by using an external magnetic field. These fields with both axial and radial directions use further this beam as an effective light source by identifying the resonance frequency to improve stability, focus particles, and wave propagation.

Formation of structure for gas-liquid, non-equilibrium polymer media

This paper examines the mechanisms of destruction and synthesis for macromolecules, which may be propelled by external acoustic fields in the flows of polymeric liquids containing a large number of gas bubbles. The dynamics of these bubbles is assumed to govern by changing the flow geometry and exciting sound oscillations in the flow. Mechanically-induced kinetic changes in macromolecules (destruction and synthesis of polymer chains) will occur when the bubbles collapse.
