Learn how to boost efficiency and simplify your workflow with the new features in VSim 12.0
Built on the powerful Vorpal physics engine that researchers and engineers have used for over 20 years, VSim 12 offers new reaction capabilities, user examples, and numerous improvements designed to increase user efficiency.
Because of the many numerical and modeling choices, modeling capacitively coupled plasmas using a Particle-In-Cell/Monte-Carlo-Collisions (PIC-MCC) approach has challenges. To cultivate confidence in these simulations, Turner Et.al. ["Simulation benchmarks for low-pressure plasmas," Phys. Plasmas, 20, . 1-11, 2013] created a rigorous benchmark for verifying PIC-MCC codes. We will discuss VSim's modeling of this benchmark, the limitations of the benchmark, and the implications for the users of our software.
