Development and Test of 2.5-Dimensional Electromagnetic PIC Simulation Code
We have developed a 2.5-dimensional electromagnetic particle simulation code using the particle-in-cell (PIC) method to investigate electromagnetic phenomena that occur in space plasmas. Our code is based on the leap-frog method and the centered difference method for integration and differentiatio...

| description | We have developed a 2.5-dimensional electromagnetic particle simulation code using the particle-in-cell (PIC) method
to investigate electromagnetic phenomena that occur in space plasmas. Our code is based on the leap-frog method and
the centered difference method for integration and differentiation of the governing equations. We adopted the relativistic
Buneman-Boris method to solve the Lorentz force equation and the Esirkepov method to calculate the current density
while maintaining charge conservation. Using the developed code, we performed test simulations for electron two-stream
instability and electron temperature anisotropy induced instability with the same initial parameters as used in previously
reported studies. The test simulation results are almost identical with those of the previous papers. |
