Suppressing the Numerical Cherenkov Instability in FDTD PIC Codes
arXiv:1401.0838 · doi:10.1016/j.jcp.2014.02.022
Abstract
A procedure for largely suppressing the numerical Cherenkov instability in finite difference time-domain (FDTD) particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations of cold, relativistic beams is derived, and residual growth rates computed and compared with WARP code simulation results. Sample laser-plasma acceleration simulation output is provided to further validate the new procedure.
