Time Integrator Agnostic Charge Conserving Finite Element PIC
Scott O'Connor, Zane D. Crawford, O. H. Ramachandran +2
Developing particle-in-cell (PIC) methods using finite element basis sets, and without auxiliary divergence cleaning methods, was a long standing problem until recently. It was sho…

A Set of Benchmark Tests for Validation of 3D Particle In Cell Methods
S. O'Connor, Z. D. Crawford, J. Verboncoeur +2
While the particle-in-cell (PIC) method is quite mature, verification and validation of both newly developed methods and individual codes has largely focused on an idiosyncratic ch…
