MPI Parallelization of Numerical Simulations for Pulsed Vacuum Arc Plasma Plumes Based on a Hybrid DSMC/PIC Algorithm
The transport characteristics of the unsteady flow field in rarefied plasma plumes is crucial for a pulsed vacuum arc in which the particle distribution varies from 10<sup>16</sup> to 10<sup>22</sup> m<sup>−3</sup>. The direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method...
