大规模数值模拟的特殊性
Contents
• What is plasma
• Basic properties of plasma
• Plasma simulation challenges
• Simulation principles
What is plasma
• Partially ionized gas, quasi-neutral• Widely existed
– Fire, lightning, ionosphere, polar aurora– Stars, solar wind, interplanetary (stellar, galactic)
medium, accretion disc, nebula– Lamps, neon signs, ozone generator, fusion energy,
electric arc, laser-material interaction
• Basic properties– Density, degree of ionization, temperature, conductivity,
quasi-neutrality– magnetization
Plasma vs gas
Property Gas Plasma
Conductivity Very low, insulator Very high, conductor
Species Usually one At least two, ion, electron
Distribution Usually Maxwellian Usually non-Maxwellian
Interaction Binary, short range Collective, long range
Basic properties
• Temperature
• Quasi-neutrality
• Thermal speed
• Plasma frequency
• Plasma period
Debye length
• System size and time
• Debye shielding

Plasma parameter
• Strong coupling
• Weak coupling
Weakly coupled plasmas
Collision frequency
• Mean-free-path
• Collisional plasma
• (Collisionless)
• Collisioning frequency
Magnetized plasma
• Anisotropic
• Gyroradius
• Gyrofrequency
• Magnetization parameter
• Plasma beta
Simulation challenges
• Problem size: 1014 ~ 1024 particles
• Debye sphere size: 102 ~ 106 particles
• Time steps: 104 ~ 106
• Point particle, computational unstable, sigularities
Solution
• No details, essence of the plasma
• One or two dimension to reduce the size
• No high frequency phenomenon, increase time step length
• Reduce ND, mi / me
• Smoothing particle charge, clouds
• Fluidal approaches, single or double
• Kinetic approaches, f/f
Simple Simulation
• Electrostatic 1 dimensional simulation, ES1
• Self and applied electrostatic field
• Applied magnetic field
• Couple with both theory and experiment, and complementing them

Field equations
• Poisson’s equation
Field equations
• Poisson’s equation is solvable• In periodic boundary conditions, fast Fourier
transform (FFT) is used, filtering the high frequency part (smoothing), is easy to calculate
Particle and force weighting
• Particle positions are continuous, but fields and charge density are not, interpolating
• Zero-order weighting
• First-order weighting, cloud-in-cell
Higher order weighting
• Quadratic or cubic splines, rounds of roughness, reduces noise, more computation
Initial values
• Number of particles and cells
• Weighting method
• Initial distribution and perturbation
• The simplest case: perturbed cold plasma, with fixed ions.
• Warm plasma, set velocities
Initial values
Diagnostics
• Graphical snapshots of the history
• x, v, , , E, etc.
• Not all ti
• For particle quantities, phase space, velocity space, density in velocity
• For grid quantities, charge density, potential, electrical field, electrostatic energy distribution in k space
Tests
• Compare with theory and experiment, with answer known
• Change nonphysical initial values (NP, NG, t, x, …)• Simple test problems
Server connection
• SshHost: 162.105.23.110, protocol: ssh2
• Your username & password• Vnc connection
In ssh shell: “vncserver”, input vnc passwd, remember xwindow number
• Tightvnc: 162.105.23.110:xx (the xwindow number)
• Kill vncserver: “vncserver –kill :xx” (x-win no.)
Xes1
• Xes1 document
• Xgrafix already compiled in /usr/local
• Xes1 makefile
• make
