Hello everybody.
Im starting a project on the basic processed undergoing in the edge plasma region. ( I mean, near the walls of a plasma confining device, like a tokamak or so.)
I was wondering if you could name some ''things'' I should be aware of in order to make a small PIC code or computer simulation.
I came up with these ones:
1.) Electron sheath on the walls, and over diagnostic devices (Probes and so on..).
2.) Non-Maxwellian distribution near the edge.
3.) High gradients on temperature & electric potential.
4.) In case of a PIC code, be awarer that the electron-larmor radius is bigger than the dimensions of the cell composing the grid.
...any suggestions?
