Abstract
- We describe the implementation of kinetic solvers in 1d2v phase space using adaptive Cartesian mesh. Spherical coordinates in velocity space are used to simplify the Lorentz and Fokker-Planck collisional operators. The key capabilities of the new solvers are illustrated for electron elastic scattering, acceleration, continuous energy loss in collisions, and ionization processes in weakly-ionized plasma. We have also implemented two-stream approach to reduce computational cost for studies of gas breakdown dynamics in the presence of runaway electrons. The benefits and limitations of the nonsplit- phase-space method for kinetic solvers with adaptive mesh in phase space are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
