Abstract
Neutral gas in a Hall-effect thruster in a small satellite is simulated using a molecular dynamics code. Investigated are neutral density, pressure, axial average velocity, and temperature for the variation of diffusive reflection ratio, initial gas temperature, and channel length. Expected through this research are improving of discharge simulation through the neutral simulation and understanding of real system.
