A numerical study of the symplectic FDTD(p,q) method combined with matrix exponential technique for anisotropic magnetized plasma
A novel algorithm has been developed to simulate the electromagnetic properties of anisotropic magnetized plasma media, integrating the matrix exponential (ME) approach with the symplectic finite-difference time-domain (ME-SFDTD(p,q)) method. The SFDTD(p,q) method achieves p-th order accuracy in the temporal domain and q-th order accuracy in the spatial domain, providing a foundational numerical discretization of Maxwell's equations and the current density equation. Subsequently, the ME method is employed to accurately solve the matrix exponential coefficient terms that arise from the multi-stage symplectic integration of the governing equations. This leads to the successful establishment of a unified numerical framework for the ME-SFDTD(p,q) method, capable of computing the field components in anisotropic magnetized plasma regions. In parallel, an efficient sub-grid technique is introduced to manage the air-plasma interface when employing a high-order spatial difference approximation. Following this, a thorough analysis of the numerical characteristics of the proposed method, including dispersion, stability, and computational complexity, is conducted. Additionally, two numerical examples are utilized to examine the computational characteristics of the ME-SFDTD(p,q) method under different differential strategies. Finally, a comprehensive assessment of computational accuracy, efficiency, and memory usage observes that the ME-SFDTD(4,4) method effectively reconciles the trade-off between these factors, establishing itself as a viable numerical solver for the accurate simulation of anisotropic magnetized plasmas.
期刊介绍:
The focus of CPC is on contemporary computational methods and techniques and their implementation, the effectiveness of which will normally be evidenced by the author(s) within the context of a substantive problem in physics. Within this setting CPC publishes two types of paper.
Computer Programs in Physics (CPiP)
These papers describe significant computer programs to be archived in the CPC Program Library which is held in the Mendeley Data repository. The submitted software must be covered by an approved open source licence. Papers and associated computer programs that address a problem of contemporary interest in physics that cannot be solved by current software are particularly encouraged.
Computational Physics Papers (CP)
These are research papers in, but are not limited to, the following themes across computational physics and related disciplines.
mathematical and numerical methods and algorithms;
computational models including those associated with the design, control and analysis of experiments; and
algebraic computation.
Each will normally include software implementation and performance details. The software implementation should, ideally, be available via GitHub, Zenodo or an institutional repository.In addition, research papers on the impact of advanced computer architecture and special purpose computers on computing in the physical sciences and software topics related to, and of importance in, the physical sciences may be considered.
