摘要
We discuss a new electromagnetic particle-in-cell algorithm for the simulation of Maxwell-Vlasov equations on unstructured grids. The use of discrete exterior calculus and differential forms of various degrees enables numerical charge conservation from first principles, down to the numerical precision floor. In addition, energy conservation is obtained via a symplectic field update. The algorithm is illustrated for the modeling of high-power microwave devices based on Cerenkov radiation driven by relativistic plasma beams.
