Codes LSP and OSIRIS

OSIRIS(developed at UCLA)

Explicit

PIC

LSP(product of MRC Albuquerque)

Explicit or Implicit

Particle (PIC) or Fluid

• Courant condition for the electromagnetic fields: Δt<Δx/c

• Numerical heating if Δx>3λD

• Courant condition is unnecessary in the implicit mode, non-resolved temporary modes are damped, remaining limitation: Δt < Δx/vte

• Implicit PIC: numerical heating or cooling if Δx>λD

• Implicit fluid: no numerical heating or cooling
