Abstract

A three-dimensional highly parallelized code for plasma simulation based on the Particle-In-Cell (PIC) approach using a discontinuous Galerkin method has been developed and validated within the instationary magneto-plasma dynamic (IMPD) thruster project (Associated with the DFG project “Numerical Modeling and Simulation of Highly Rarefied Plasma Flows”). With this code, it is for the first time possible to simulate the highly challenging gyrotron launcher and resonator, i.e. a high-energetic microwave source used for fusion-plasma heating, without using any physical approximations. We present the results of the gyrotron simulations with special focus on the parallelization capabilities of our code. For the gyrotron launcher, computations with up to 2048 processes have been performed. Parallel scaling of the PIC code with at most 1024 processes for simulating the gyrotron resonator is investigated in detail.
