Fast elliptic solvers in cylindrical coordinates and the Coulomb collision operator
In this paper, we describe a new class of fast solvers for separable elliptic partial differential equations in cylindrical coordinates (r, θ, z) with free-space radiation conditions. By combining integral equation methods in the radial variable r with Fourier methods in θ and z, we show that high-order accuracy can be achieved in both the governing potential and its derivatives. A weak singula...
متن کاملUnderstanding the accuracy of Nanbu's numerical Coulomb collision operator
We investigate the accuracy of and assumptions underlying the numerical binary Monte Carlo collision operator due to Nanbu [K. Nanbu, Phys. Rev. E 55 (1997) 4642]. The numerical experiments that resulted in the parameterization of the collision kernel used in Nanbu’s operator are argued to be an approximate realization of the Coulomb–Lorentz pitchangle scattering process, for which an analytica...
متن کاملMultiinstantons in Curvilinear Coordinates
The 'tHooft's 5N-parametric multiinstanton solution is generalized to curvilinear coordinates. Expressions can be simplified by the gauge transformation that makes η-symbols constant in the vierbein formalism. This generates the compensating addition to the gauge potential of pseudoparticles. Typical examples (4-spherical, 2 + 2-and 3 + 1-cylindrical coordinates) are studied and explicit formul...
متن کاملInstantons in curvilinear coordinates
The multi-instanton solutions by ’tHooft and Jackiw, Nohl & Rebbi are generalized to curvilinear coordinates. Expressions can be notably simplified by the appropriate gauge transformation. This generates the compensating addition to the gauge potential of pseudoparticles. Singularities of the compensating connection are irrelevant for physics but affect gauge dependent quantities. The third con...
متن کاملThe Perfectly Matched Layer in Curvilinear Coordinates
In 1994 B erenger showed how to construct a perfectly matched absorbing layer for the Maxwell system in rectilinear coordinates. This layer absorbs waves of any wavelength and any frequency without reeection and thus can be used to artiicially terminate the domain of scattering calculations. In this paper we show how to derive and implement the B erenger layer in curvilinear coordinates (in two...
