A Parallel Pic Code for a Hall Thruster Simulation
Fluid codes are widely used to model Hall thrusters because of their simplicity and low computational demands. However, they have not been successful in describing all the physics of Hall thrusters. On the other hand, PIC codes (Particle In Cell) are powerful for simulating microscopic phenomena. Their drawback is the requirement in the number of particles in order to achieve good results. This...
متن کاملPIC: Protein Interactions Calculator
Interactions within a protein structure and interactions between proteins in an assembly are essential considerations in understanding molecular basis of stability and functions of proteins and their complexes. There are several weak and strong interactions that render stability to a protein structure or an assembly. Protein Interactions Calculator (PIC) is a server which, given the coordinate ...
متن کاملUsing Java for Plasma PIC Simulations
Plasma particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations model the interactions of charged particles with the surrounding fields. This application has been recognized as one of the grand challenge problems facing the high-performance computing community due to its huge computational requirements. Recently, with the explosive development of Internet, Java is receiving increasing attention and is thought as a p...
متن کاملHybrid PIC-DSMC simulation of a Hall thruster plume on unstructured grids
Hall thrusters and other types of electric propulsion have become a tempting alternative to traditional chemical propulsion systems due to the high specific impulses they provide at relatively high efficiencies. Unlike conventional chemical propulsion systems, electric propulsion devices do not rely on the internal energy stored within their propellant. Instead, an external power source is used...
متن کاملLaboratory Investigation of Near - Earth Space Plasma Processes
Introduction: Energetic particles and plasma dynamics in the near-Earth space environment can significantly impact operation of both military and civilian systems. The underlying physical mechanisms relevant to two important space plasma issues, radiation belt dynamics and auroral ionospheric space weather, are under investigation in the NRL Space Physics Simulation Chamber (SPSC). Plasma condi...
