Plasma Simulations by Example

Providing the reader with an easy to follow set of examples, this new book guides readers how to develop C++ computer codes for simulating plasmas primarily with the kinetic Particle in Cell (PIC) method. This text would be invaluable to advanced undergraduates and graduate students looking to learn how to put the theory to the test.

The study of plasmas is crucial in improving our understanding of the universe, and they are being increasingly utilised in key technologies such as spacecraft thrusters, plasma medicine, and fusion energy. Providing readers with an easy to follow set of examples that clearly illustrate how simulation codes are written, this book guides readers through how to develop C++ computer codes for simulating plasmas primarily with the kinetic Particle in Cell (PIC) method. This text will be invaluable to advanced undergraduates and graduate students in physics and engineering looking to learn how to put the theory to the test.

Features:

Provides a step-by-step introduction to plasma simulations with easy to follow examples

Discusses the electrostatic and electromagnetic Particle in Cell (PIC) method on structured and unstructured meshes, magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), and Vlasov solvers

Covered topics include Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) collisions, surface interactions, axisymmetry, and parallelization strategies.
