RBG-Maxwell Framework: Simulation of Collisional Plasma Systems via Coupled Boltzmann-Maxwell equations on GPU
Abstract
This paper presents the RBG-Maxwell framework, a relativistic collisional plasma simulator on GPUs. We provide detailed discussions on the fundamental equations, numerical algorithms, implementation specifics, and key testing outcomes. The RBG-Maxwell framework is a robust numerical code designed for simulating the evolution of plasma systems through a kinetic approach on large-scale GPUs. It offers easy adaptability to a wide range of physical systems. Given the appropriate initial distributions, particle masses, charges, differential cross-sections, and external forces (which are not confined to electromagnetic forces), the RBG-Maxwell framework can direct the evolution of a particle system from a non-equilibrium state to a thermal state.
