Rethinking Electrostatic Solvers in Particle Simulations for the Exascale Era
Stefano Markidis, Giovanni Lapenta, Rossen Apostolov +1
In preparation to the exascale era, an alternative approach to calculate the electrostatic forces in Particle Mesh (PM) methods is proposed. While the traditional techniques are ba…
Three dimensional density cavities in guide field collisionless magnetic reconnection
Stefano Markidis, Giovanni Lapenta, Andrey Divin +3
Particle-in-Cell simulations of collisionless magnetic reconnection with a guide field reveal for the first time the three dimensional features of the low density regions along the…
Collisionless magnetic reconnection in a plasmoid chain
Stefano Markidis, Pierre Henri, Giovanni Lapenta +4
The kinetic features of plasmoid chain formation and evolution are investigated by two dimensional Particle-in-Cell simulations. Magnetic reconnection is initiated in multiple X po…
A Multi Level Multi Domain Method for Particle In Cell Plasma Simulations
M. E. Innocenti, G. Lapenta, S. Markidis +2
A novel adaptive technique for electromagnetic Particle In Cell (PIC) plasma simulations is presented here. Two main issues are identified in designing adaptive techniques for PIC…
