We develop an efficient algorithm for detecting collisions among a large number of particles moving in a velocity field, when the field itself is possibly coupled to the particle motions. We build on ideas from molecular dynamics simulations and, as a byproduct, give a literature survey of methods f
A cumulative property of Coulomb collisions in plasmas was formulated by Nanbu. A succession of small-angle binary collisions is grouped into a unique binary collision with a large scattering angle; the law of scattering is given by the exponential cosine function. Proposed here is a Coulomb collisi
Plasmas in modern tokamak experiments contain a significant fraction of impurity ion species in addition to main deuterium background. A new unlike-particle collision operator for df particle simulation has been developed to self-consistently study the non-local effects of impurities on neoclassical
We restrict our attention in this paper to the case where the potential (or force) at a point is a sum of pairwise An algorithm is presented for the rapid evaluation of the potential and force fields in systems involving large numbers of particles interactions. More specifically, we consider potenti
