Function Documentation

simulate_gc_adaptive()

void simulate_gc_adaptive	(	particle_queue *	pq,
		sim_data *	sim )

Simulates guiding centers using adaptive time-step.

The simulation includes:

• orbit-following with Cash-Karp method
• Coulomb collisions with Milstein method

The simulation is carried until all marker have met some end condition or are aborted/rejected. The final state of the markers is stored in the given marker array. Other output is stored in the diagnostic array.

The adaptive time-step is determined by integrator error tolerances as well as user-defined limits for how much marker state can change during a single time-step.

Parameters

pq	particles to be simulated
sim	simulation data
