PIC-MCC method with finite element solver for Poisson equation used in simulation of the breakdown phase in dense plasma focus devices

Using PIC-MCC method for simulation of the breakdown of plasma focus device we obtained electron energy distribution function, spatial distributions of potential and charged particle densities. Studied is the first phase of the development of ionization process at pressures 133 - 931 Pa. Satisfactor...

Zusammenfassung:Using PIC-MCC method for simulation of the breakdown of plasma focus device we obtained electron energy distribution function, spatial distributions of potential and charged particle densities. Studied is the first phase of the development of ionization process at pressures 133 - 931 Pa. Satisfactory agreement with experiment of the PF-1000 operation is observed for pressures in the range 665 - 931 Pa.
