Topological Analysis of Magnetic Reconnection in Kinetic Plasma Simulations
Divya Banesh, Li-Ta Lo, Patrick Kilian +2
Magnetic reconnection is a ubiquitous plasma process in which oppositely directed magnetic field lines break and rejoin, resulting in a change of the magnetic field topology. Recon…
Studying particle acceleration from driven magnetic reconnection at the termination shock of a relativistic striped wind using particle-in-cell simulations
Yingchao Lu, Fan Guo, Patrick Kilian +3
A rotating pulsar creates a surrounding pulsar wind nebula (PWN) by steadily releasing an energetic wind into the interior of the expanding shockwave of supernova remnant or inters…
An \mathcal{O}(N) Maxwell solver with improved numerical dispersion properties
Yingchao Lu, Chengkun Huang, Patrick Kilian +3
A Maxwell solver derived from finite element method with \mathcal{O}(N) computing cost is developed to improve the numerical dispersion properties in relativistic particle-in-cell…
Simulating the Injection of Magnetized Plasma without Electromagnetic Precursor Wave
Patrick Kilian, Felix Spanier
Injecting magnetized plasma with changes in magnetization or injection rate necessitate a time variable magnetic field at the boundary of the simulation box. Naive implementation w…
