Abstract
The process of acceleration of heavy ions in the Hall accelerator is studied. Numerical solutions of one – dimensional hydrodynamic equations describing a three-component system-neutral particles, electrons and ions-are obtained. Ions move in a collisionless manner and are accelerated by a self-consistent electric field, electrons diffuse across the magnetic field. The self-consistent field is calculated using the Poisson equation, and it is shown that there is no singularity when the ion velocity coincides with the ion sound velocity. It is also shown that there is a critical magnetic field above which it is impossible to propagate the ion flow.
