Optimization of particle-in-cell simulations for Vlasov-Poisson system with strong magnetic field

We study the dynamics of charged particles under the influence of a strong magnetic field by numerically solving the Vlasov-Poisson and guiding center models. By using appropriate data structures, we implement an efficient (from the memory access point of view) particle...
