Efficient Enhanced Hybrid Implicit-Explicit Procedure to Gyrotropic Plasma in Open Regions With Fine Geometry Details Along Single Direction

Abstract

For the simulation of gyrotropic plasma structure with fine geometry details along a single direction in open regions, the hybrid implicit-explicit (HIE) algorithm with improved absorbing boundary condition is modified based on the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) algorithm. More precisely, incorporating the perfectly matched layer (PML) formulation, the higher order concept and the HIE procedure, the proposed implementation shows its significant superiority in terms of efficiency, accuracy and absorption. To simulate the unique anisotropic characteristic inside the gyrotropic plasma regions, the bilinear transform (BT) method is employed during the calculation. The effectiveness can be further demonstrated theoretically and numerically. Through the results, it can be concluded that the proposed scheme exhibits remarkable behaviors in the gyrotropic plasma open region problems. It can not only obtain considerable accuracy compared with the theoretical solution but also receive better absorption and efficiency compared with the published work. In addition, the results also indicate that the proposed scheme can maintain the stability of the algorithm with dissatisfaction of the Courant-Friedrichs-Levy condition between time step and mesh size.
