摘要： 基于直接蒙特卡洛(DSMC)算法、浸入式有限元算法(IFE)、粒子云及蒙特卡洛碰撞(PIC MCC)算法以及Ammosov Delone Krainov(ADK)隧穿电离模型建立了碳纳米管阵列推力器工质气体和CNT场电离过程的三维仿真模型。利用文献中的实验数据对本文仿真模型的有效性进行了验证，结果表明本文仿真模型与实验结果基本一致。针对碳纳米管阵列推力器的放电特性进行了研究，并重点分析了离子与原子碰撞过程对碳纳米管阵列推力器放电特性的影响。结果表明CNT可以极大地增强局部电场，稳态时场增强因子约为1308；与原子的碰撞使得离子在CNT附近更加集中，降低了局部电场，进而降低了其场增强能力。

Abstract: Based on the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method, Immersed Finite Element (IFE) method, Particle in cell Monte Carlo Collision (PIC MCC) method and Ammosov Delone Krainov(ADK) tunneling ionization model, a three dimensional simulation model for the carbon nanotube (CNT) array thruster is established. The validity of the simulation model is verified by comparison with experimental data in literature. The results show that the simulation model is in agreement with the experimental results. Then the discharge characteristics of the carbon nanotube array thruster are studied, and the influence of collisions is also analyzed. The results show that CNT can greatly enhance the local electric field, and the field enhancement factor in steady state is about 1308; the collision with atoms makes ions more concentrated near the CNT tip, thus reducing the local electric field and its field enhancement ability.
