研究目的
To review conformal electromagnetic particle-in-cell (EM-PIC) numerical solution schemes, including a chronological history of relevant particle physics algorithms, and to highlight areas for future development.
研究成果
Conformal EM-PIC solution methods and algorithms have been presented, discussed, and detailed. The paper provides brief mathematical descriptions for many important and popular methods and highlights areas for future research in conformal EM-PIC methods.
研究不足
The review is limited to conformal EM-PIC schemes and does not cover nonconformal EM-PIC schemes, non-EM-PIC methods, nonparticle or hybrid-particle schemes, and computer-science-based and hardware developments.
