An Exactly Energy-conserving Electromagnetic Particle-in-cell Method in Curvilinear Coordinates

In this paper, we introduce and discuss an exactly energy-conserving particle-in-cell method for arbitrary curvilinear coordinates. The flexibility provided by curvilinear coordinates enables the study of plasmas in complex-shaped domains by aligning the grid to the given geometry or by focusing gri...
