The evaluation of the thruster-induced environmental effects that could degrade the performance of spacecraft A fully three-dimensional hybrid plasma particle-in-cell model for multi-computer environments was developed to assess the space-subsystems and sensors is very important. For example, in cra
The adaptation of PIC methods requires the ability to change the number of particles during the calculation. For PIC methods it is not sufficient to adapt the computational grid. It also necessary to control the local number of particles per cell (particle rezoning) by increasing or decreasing its v
We have developed a simulation method with both electrons and ions represented as particles-in-cell, in which the electrostatic field is determined from the requirement of quasineutrality rather than from Poisson's equation. This approach permits self-consistent calculation of the potential, in quas
