description Hall thrusters function as power plants on spacecraft, and its development is crucial for the aerospace industry. The wall erosion of the on-orbit Hall thruster cannot be measured by the control center through ground measurement, but can obtain the discharge current low-frequency oscillation data. Therefore, this study proposes an inversion method to obtain the wall erosion information based on low-frequency oscillation signals and neural networks. Firstly, we use an improved one-dimensional quasi-neutral dynamic fluid mathematical model to build a low-frequency oscillation simulation platform which obtains the corresponding data by varying the cross-sectional area. Secondly, a nonlinear neural network model is established based on the obtained low-frequency oscillation data to invert the wall erosion information. The training function, transfer function, number of hidden layer nodes, and other parameters affecting the results are analyzed and the best model parameters are obtained. The Elman neural network is established and compared with the BP neural network and RBF neural network. The training results of the Elman neural network algorithm present small and stable errors, and the results of multiple predictions remain consistent. The root means square error, average absolute error, and average absolute percentage are 0.0084, 0.0637, and 0.045%, respectively.
