Research abstract

Electromagnetic particle-in-cell (EM-PIC) simulations are pervasive in a wide variety of fields ranging from design of HPM sources for radar and communications applications to studies of magnetic reconnection and collisionless shocks in plasma physics. Presently, there are no codes that can adequately resolve multi-scale plasma systems with complex boundaries. The most promising approach is Structured Adaptive Mesh refinement (SAMR). In Phase I, we successfully identified three key innovations which extend SAMR to EM-PIC simulations with conformal boundaries. Our goal is to incorporate these innovations and develop a first-ever, multi-resolution 3D, parallel, object-oriented EM-PIC code, EMPOWER (Electro-Magnetic Particle Operation With Extended Resolution). This code will possess unique user-defined geometric precision capabilities implemented via a combination of SAMR and conformal meshing algorithms.
