激光等离子体二维相对论电磁粒子模拟

TWO-DIMENSIONAL RELATIVISTIC ELECTROMAGNETIC PARTICLE SIMULATION OF LASER-PLASMA

  • 摘要: 研制了激光等离子体二维相对论电磁粒子模拟程序(2DCIC)。追踪几万甚至百万个模拟粒子在外加激光场和自洽场中运动,自洽地计算电荷和电流密度,求解完全的Maxwel方程,电子的相对论运动方程和离子的牛顿运动方程,辅以灵活的诊断研究波-波,波-粒子相互作用的发生、发展和饱和的细节以及时间演化规律。激光可以正入射,也可以斜入射;等离子体可以是均匀密度,也可以具有密度梯度;为了节约机时,还发展了并行运算。物理模型参数可调,既适用于研究激光聚变等离子体相互作用,也适用于超短脉冲超强激光等离子体相互作用和其它等离子体问题。经过多次试算检验,对等离子体平衡态进行了计算研究,对于超短脉冲超强激光的传播也进行了初步模拟计算。

     

    Abstract: A two-dimensional relativistic electromagnetic particle simulation code (2DCIC) is presented. The charge and current densities are computed self-consistently using Maxwell's equations, relativistic motion equations of electrons and Newton's equations of ions by tracking 104-106 simulated particles. some details of wave wave and wave particle interaction are also studied together with the evolution of instability as time. Laser light impinges obliquely (or normally) on plasma, which has a density gradient (or homogeneous density). To save computational time, the parallel computational method is developed. Using this code, the ultrashort intense pulse laser plasma interaction and other plasma problems can be also studied by modifying parameters of physical model. After a lot of test computation, plasma equilibrium and propagation of ultrashort intense pulse laser in plasma are studied. The computed physical picture is reasonable.
