Satellite surface charging in LEO with ProPIC

Satellite surface charging in LEO with ProPIC

ProPIC is a fully kinetic particle-in-cell (PIC) solver developed for space electric propulsion. This work has extended its capabilities to simulate satellite surface charging and wake generation in low Earth orbit (LEO). A novel scaling approach has been implemented, decreasing computational cost b...
