Function Documentation

simulate_gc_fixed()

void simulate_gc_fixed	(	particle_queue *	pq,
		sim_data *	sim )

Simulates guiding centers using fixed time-step.

The simulation includes:

• orbit-following with RK4 method
• Coulomb collisions with Euler-Maruyama method

The simulation is carried until all markers 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 time-step is user-defined either directly or as a fraction of gyrotime.

Parameters

pq	particles to be simulated
sim	simulation data
