The effects of numerical acceleration techniques on PIC-MCC simulations of ion thrusters
The particle-in-cell-Monte Carlo collision method has been widely used in simulation studies of ion thrusters. Due to the huge computational demand of such simulations, numerical acceleration techniques are required. However, the effects of such numerical acceleration techniques on the simulation re...
