Self-Consistent hot spot tracing particles by kinetic simulations: With the emphasis on Cusp particle entry
One of the most important advantages of particle simulation as compared to fluid simulation is the capacity for working with and tracing particles. In particle simulations, the test particle method is usually used to get some idea of the behavior of plasma or other substances. In this method, first, a small number of particles are injected into the frame of static electromagnetic fields. Then, ...
متن کاملGlobal gyrokinetic particle simulations with kinetic electrons
A toroidal, nonlinear, electrostatic fluid-kinetic hybrid electron model is formulated for global gyrokinetic particle simulations of driftwave turbulence in fusion plasmas. Numerical properties are improved by an expansion of the electron response using a smallness parameter of the ratio of driftwave frequency to electron transit frequency. Linear simulations accurately recover the real freque...
متن کاملParticle-in-Cell Simulations with Kinetic Electrons
A new scheme, based on an exact separation between adiabatic and nonadiabatic electron responses, for particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of drift-type modes is presented. The (linear and nonlinear) elliptic equations for the scalar fields are solved using a multigrid solver. The new scheme yields linear growth rates in excellent agreement with theory and it is shown to conserve energy well into...
متن کاملElectron firehose instability: Kinetic linear theory and two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations
[1] The kinetic electron firehose instability (EFI) is thought to be a crucial mechanism for constraining the observed electron anisotropy in expanding astrophysical plasmas, such as the solar wind. The EFI arises in a bi-Maxwellian plasma when the parallel temperature is greater than the perpendicular one, and its effect is to reduce anisotropy. We study this mechanism via kinetic linear theor...
متن کاملHall Thruster Simulations with a Two-Dimensional Potential Solver and Kinetic Mobility Model
Despite some advancements in the field, Hall thrusters are still typically simulated using quasi-1D codes that assume thermalized potential along magnetic field lines and an analytical model for the cross-field mobility. In this paper, we develop methodology and present results from a Hall thruster simulation which diverges from this approach in two important aspects. First, a two-dimensional m...
