Abstract:

In this paper, the PIC method with an adaptive mass is introduced. This enables us to conserve the velocity distribution, and not only density, momentum, the center of mass, energy in a cell. This is important for simulating multi-stream flows. That is why this modification was tested on the Riemann problem for the ion density.
