ColDICE: a parallel Vlasov-Poisson solver using moving adaptative simplicial tessellation
Apparaît dans la collection : Collisionless Boltzmann (Vlasov) equation and modeling of self-gravitating systems and plasmas / Boltzmann sans collisions, Vlasov et modélisation des systèmes auto-gravitants et des plasmas
In this talk, I will present ColDICE[1, 2], a publicly available parallel numerical solver designed to solve the Vlasov-Poisson equations in the cold case limit. The method is based on the representation of the phase-space sheet as a conforming, self-adaptive simplicial tessellation whose vertices follow the Lagrangian equations of motion. In this presentation, I will mainly focus on describing the underlying algorithm and its practical implementation, as well as showing a few practical examples demonstrating its capabilities.
