Variational Formulation of Macro-Particle Algorithms for Kinetic Plasma Simulations
A variational method is used to derive a self-consistent macro-particle model for relativistic electromagnetic kinetic plasma simulations. Extending earlier work [1], the discretization of the electromagnetic Low Lagrangian is performed via a reduction of the phase-space distribution function onto a collection of finite-sized macro-particles of arbitrary shape and discretization of field quanti...
متن کاملVariational formulation of macro-particle plasma simulation algorithms
Variational formulation of macro-particle plasma simulation algorithms" (2014). A variation formulation of macro-particle kinetic plasma models is discussed. In the electrostatic case, the use of symplectic integrators is investigated and found to offer advantages over typical generic methods. For the electromagnetic case, gauge invariance and momentum conservation are considered in detail. It ...
متن کاملVariational Formulation for the Kpz and Related Kinetic Equations
We present a variational formulation for the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation that leads to a thermodynamic-like potential for the KPZ as well as for other related kinetic equations. For the KPZ case, with the knowledge of such a potential we prove some global shift invariance properties previously conjectured by other authors. We also show a few results about the form of the stationary proba...
متن کاملKinetic plasma simulations for three dielectric etchers
Particle-in-cell Monte Carlo collision (PIC/MCC) modeling of dual frequency asymmetric capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) sources has been carried out. In particular, the following configurations have been modeled: 27/2 MHz system with an electrode separation of 2 cm, 60/2 MHz system with a gap of 4.5 cm, and 162/13.56 MHz system with a gap of 3.2 cm. It is found that both the ion flux to the el...
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...
