Verification and Convergence Properties of Particle-in-Cell Codes

چکیده
Particle-in-cell methods have been widely throughout plasma physics over 50 years. However, there is confusion about the mathematical model used for particle-in-cell (PIC) codes and whether PIC converges or not. Our hypothesis is Klimontovich equation with finite-size particle is the model described by PIC codes. We perform numerical study to compare PIC codes and gridless codes to solve these issues.

Harmonics Estimation in Power Systems using a Fast Hybrid Algorithm
In this paper a novel hybrid algorithm for harmonics estimation in power systems is proposed. The estimation of the harmonic components is a nonlinear problem due to the nonlinearity of phase of sinusoids in distorted waveforms. Most researchers implemented nonlinear methods to extract the harmonic parameters. However, nonlinear methods for amplitude estimation increase time of convergence. Hen...

متن کاملThe study of particle size distribution of calcium carbonate and its effects on some soil properties in khuzestan province
ABSTRACT-This experiment was carried out to study particle size distribution (PSD) of carbonates in soils and its effect on some calcareous soil properties in Khuzestan Province, Iran. Soil samples (n=72) were collected from different regions. To evaluate the effect of carbonates on water contents at pressure head of -1500kpa and PSD of soil samples, these properties were determined before and ...

متن کاملA NEW HYBRID GENETIC AND SWARM OPTIMIZATION FOR EARTHQUAKE ACCELEROGRAM SCALING
Earthquake time history records are required to perform dynamic nonlinear analyses. In order to provide a suitable set of such records, they are scaled to match a target spectrum as introduced in the well-known design codes. Corresponding scaling factors are taken similar in practice however, optimizing them reduces extra-ordinary economic charge for the seismic design. In the present work a ne...
