NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF PLASMAS AT PRINCETON I.
Abstract
A program on numerical plasma simulation was undertaken. The following codes were developed: One- and two-dimensional models using finite-sized particles and including only electrostatic interactions between particles; One, one and a half (two velocities and one position), two, and two and a half (three velocities and two positions) codes were developed using finite-sized particles, electrostatic particle interactions and a fixed magnetic field; A three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic fluid model was developed. Extensive checks on the accuracy and reliability of the codes were made. The codes were applied to a number of problems in plasma turbulence and nonlinear behavior. Brief summaries of the work are attached. They are taken from the Annual Report of the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory.
