Aspherical PIC code (APIC) for modeling non-spherical dust in plasmas using shape-conforming coordinates
R. D. Smirnov, S. I. Krasheninnikov
The 2D3V Aspherical Particle-in-Cell (APIC) code is developed for modeling of interactions of non-spherical dust grains with plasmas. It simulates the motion of plasma electrons an…
