Abstract
This paper presents the development status of the simulation tool THaMES (Time-Harmonic Maxwell Equations Solver) that aims to reproduce the electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation inside an ECR plasma thruster to study the ECR resonance absorption and wave propagation. THaMES allows the use of a planar domain filled with arbitrary cold magnetized inhomogeneous plasmas, specifying parameters such as the electron plasma density, the applied magnetic field or the effective collisional rate. The simulation relies on MFEM discretization library.
