A 4th-Order Particle-in-Cell Method with Phase-Space Remapping for the Vlasov--Poisson Equation
A 4th-Order Particle-in-Cell Method with Phase-Space Remapping for the Vlasov--Poisson Equation
Numerical solutions to the Vlasov--Poisson system of equations have important applications to both plasma physics and cosmology. In this paper, we present a new particle-in-cell (PIC) method for solving this system that is 4th-order accurate in both space and time. Our method is a high-order extension of one presented previously …
