Understanding of neutral and plasma-wall interactions is important in order to develop plasma thrusters with more efficiency and long lifetime. In this study, a laboratory model Hall thruster with different thermal accommodation coefficients and anode/discharge channel wall temperatures were numerically simulated by using a fully kinetic 2D3V Particle-in-Cell (PIC)/Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) code. The effects of thermal accommodation coefficient and anode/wall temperature on the thruster performance were investigated and discussed. Following conclusions were obtained: (1) Ion thermal accommodation coefficient is more determining over the thruster performance than neutral accommodation coefficient and anode/wall temperature; (2) Anode/wall temperature does not have significant effect on the thruster performance; (3) Uncertainties in the thruster performance arising from neutral particles’ interaction with plasma and the walls, neutral uncertainties, are increased when higher magnetic fields were applied to the thruster by means of an electromagnetic coil.
