The Plasimo code is a toolbox that provides support for the numerical simulation of plasma
sources of various degrees of equilibrium. It comes with a number of electromagnetic …

Divided into three main parts, the book guides the reader to an understanding of the basic
concepts in this fascinating field of research. Part 1 introduces you to the fundamental …

Particle acceleration in collisionless plasma systems is a central question in astroplasma
and astroparticle physics. The structure of the acceleration regions, electron–ion energy …

A new type of particle simulation model based on the gyrophase-averaged Vlasov and
Poisson equations is presented. The reduced system, in which particle gyrations are …

Stationary plasma thrusters are devices that use crossed electric and magnetic fields to
accelerate ions to high velocities. Ions are created by collisional ionization of a propellant …

This paper discusses a novel fully implicit formulation for a one-dimensional electrostatic
particle-in-cell (PIC) plasma simulation approach. Unlike earlier implicit electrostatic PIC …

Abstract Particle-in-cell Monte Carlo simulation has become a very effective tool in exploring
processing plasmas and in particular capacitive RF discharges. We describe the …

This book addresses hybrid simulation of plasmas; it is aimed at develo** insight into the
essence of plasma behavior. Major current applications are to astrophysical and space …

Computational models based on a fluid description of the plasma, such as
magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) and extended magnetohydrodynamic (XMHD) codes are …

An algorithm for coupling external circuit elements to be bounded two-dimensional
electrostatic plasma simulation codes is developed. In general, the external circuit equations …
