The study of plasmas is crucial in improving our understanding of
the universe, and they are being increasingly utilised in key
technologies such as spacecraft thrusters, plasma medicine, and
fusion energy. Providing readers with an easy to follow set of
examples that clearly illustrate how simulation codes are written,
this book guides readers through how to develop C++ computer codes
for simulating plasmas primarily with the kinetic Particle in Cell
(PIC) method. This text will be invaluable to advanced
undergraduates and graduate students in physics and engineering
looking to learn how to put the theory to the test. Features:
Provides a step-by-step introduction to plasma simulations with
easy to follow examples Discusses the electrostatic and
electromagnetic Particle in Cell (PIC) method on structured and
unstructured meshes, magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), and Vlasov solvers
Covered topics include Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC)
collisions, surface interactions, axisymmetry, and parallelization
strategies. Lubos Brieda has over 15 years of experience developing
plasma and gas simulation codes for electric propulsion,
contamination transport, and plasma-surface interactions. As part
of his master's research work, he developed a 3D ES-PIC electric
propulsion plume code, Draco, which is to this date utilized by
government labs and private aerospace firms to study plasma
thruster plumes. His Ph.D, obtained in 2012 from George Washington
University, USA, focused on a multi-scale model for Hall thrusters
utilizing fluid-kinetic hybrid PIC codes. He has since then been
involved in numerous projects involving development and the use of
plasma simulation tools. Since 2014 he has been teaching online
courses on plasma simulations through his website:
