Abstract

The invention discloses a method for obtaining satellite surface potential based on multi-time-scale particle push. A division method of different mesh sizes is adopted at different regions for a simulation space according to space plasma characteristic and satellite size, namely fine mesh division is adopted at a region close to a satellite, and coarse mesh division is adopted at a region away from the satellite; thus, the operation time is saved to a great extent on the premise of guaranteeing certain computing accuracy, and the contradiction between the computing efficiency and accuracy of PIC (Particle-In-Cell) surface charge simulation analysis of a geostationary orbit is solved better; electrons and ions are pushed by using different time steps respectively, nearly half of the computation can be saved on the premise of guaranteeing the computing accuracy, and the computing efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to space application technology, in particular to a method for obtaining satellite surface potential based on multi-time-scale particle propulsion. Background technique [0002] The interaction of satellites with the space plasma in geostationary orbit collects electrons and ions in the plasma, creating a surface electrification effect. In the overall design stage of the spacecraft, through simulation calculation of the surface potential distribution of the satellite, find out where the discharge may occur and improve it, which can effectively reduce the cost of research and development and improve the reliability of the spacecraft. [0003] In the analysis and calculation of the interaction between satellites and space plasma, two methods, magnetic fluid and particle simulation, are generally used. The particle simulation (PIC) numerical analysis method is a powerful numerical calculation method based on the dynamic plasma model...
