متن کاملHigher-order Time Integration of Stochastic Differential Equations and Application to Coulomb Collisions
We have examined the extension of Langevin-equation Monte-Carlo algorithms for Coulomb collisions from the conventional Euler O(∆t)-order time integration to the next higher [Milstein-O(∆t)] order of accuracy. This examination has yielded many results, some of interest specifically for the Coulomb-collision problem, some of fundamental importance for integration of stochastic motion on a spheri...
متن کاملLangevin representation of Coulomb collisions for bi-Maxwellian plasmas
Langevin model corresponding to the Fokker-Planck equation for bi-Maxwellian particle distribution functions is developed. Rosenbluth potentials and their derivatives are derived in the form of triple hypergeometric functions. The Langevin model is tested in the case of relaxation of the proton temperature anisotropy and implemented into the hybrid expanding box model. First results of this cod...
متن کاملParticle in Cell-Monte Carlo Collisions of a Plasma Column Driven by Surface Wave Plasma Discharges
In this work, applicability of Particle in Cell-Monte Carlo Collisions (PIC-MCC) simulation method for better understanding of the plasma physical mechanisms and real important aspects of a plasma column driven by surface wave plasma discharges that is used in plasma antennas is examined. Via the implementation of geometry and physical parameters of the plasma column to an Object Oriented PIC-M...
متن کاملLangevin equation with Coulomb friction
We propose a Langevin model with Coulomb friction. Through the analysis of the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation, we have obtained the steady velocity distribution function under the influence of the external field.
