Pure Monte Carlo Method: a Third Way for Plasma Simulation

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

We bring a totally new concept for plasma simulation, other than the conventional two ways: Fluid/Kinetic Continuum (FKC) method and Particle-in-Cell (PIC) method. This method is based on Pure Monte Carlo (PMC), but far beyond traditional treatments. PMC solves all the equations (kinetic, fluid, field) and treats all the procedures (collisions, others) in the system via MC method. As shown in two paradigms, many advantages have found. It has shown the capability to be the third importance approach for plasma simulation or even completely substitute the other two in the future. It's also suitable for many unsolved problems, then bring plasma simulation to a new era.
