2 COUPLED PARTICLE-FINITE VOLUME METHODS USING DELAUNAY-VORONOI MESHES FOR THE APPROXIMATION OF VLASOV-POISSON AND VLASOV-MAXWELL EQUATIONS

This paper deals with the approximation of Vlasov-Poisson and Vlasov-Maxwell equations. We present two coupled particle-finite volume methods which use the properties of Delaunay-Voronoi{dotless}̈ meshes. These methods are applied to benchmark calculations and engineering problems such as simulation of electron injector devices. © 1993 Academic Press. All rights reserved.
