Non-Physical Self Forces in Electromagnetic Plasma-Simulation Algorithms
Abstract
The paper describes a simple algorithm for removing nonphysical self forces from two popular electromagnetic plasma simulation models. This algorithm also has two additional features; it considerably reduces short-wavelength noise and unwanted numerical fluctuations, and permits faster integration of the particle orbit equations by roughly a factor of two.
