Multi-scale simulations of plasma with iPIC3D (Q975024)

The method called iPIC3D implicite particle in cell procedure for computer simulation of plasma behaviour is shown When applied to the in time of the applied implicit integration Vlasov-Maxwell system of equations, it is seen that it removes the numerical stability constraints and enables kinetic plasma simulations at magnetohydrodynamic time scales. To show the advantage of the procedure simulations of magnetic reconnection in plasma are presented.
