天体物理学中的PIC方法:天体物理系统中相对论喷流和动力学物理的模拟

PIC methods in astrophysics: Simulations of relativistic jets and kinetic physics in astrophysical systems

Kenichi Nishikawa, Ioana Dutan, Christoph Koehn, Yosuke Mizuno

摘要:

颗粒池(PIC)方法是由Oscar Buneman、Charles Birdsall、Roger W. Hockney和John Dawson在20世纪50年代提出的,随着计算能力的发展,已经在天体物理、磁层以及太阳等离子体等多个领域得到了进一步的发展,最近还用于大气和激光等离子体物理。目前有超过15个半公开PIC代码,我们在本次审查中讨论。随着世界各地高性能计算设施的计算能力不断提高,其应用也得到了广泛的发展。利用这些系统可以研究天体物理等离子体的各种课题,如磁重联、黑洞和黑洞磁层、非相对论和相对论激波、相对论喷流和激光等离子体物理。我们回顾了大量的天体物理现象,如相对论性喷流,不稳定性,磁重联,磁共振,以及PIC模拟的激光等离子体物理(直到2021年),强调在模拟中涉及的物理。最后,展望了中子星、黑洞及其合并的喷流模拟的未来,并从千万亿次和亿次计算的角度讨论了PIC模拟的未来。

英文摘要:

The Particle-In-Cell (PIC) method has been developed by Oscar Buneman, Charles Birdsall, Roger W. Hockney, and John Dawson in the 1950s and, with the advances of computing power, has been further developed for several fields such as astrophysical, magnetospheric as well as solar plasmas and recently also for atmospheric and laser-plasma physics. Currently more than 15 semi-public PIC codes are available which we discuss in this review. Its applications have grown extensively with increasing computing power available on high performance computing facilities around the world. These systems allow the study of various topics of astrophysical plasmas, such as magnetic reconnection, pulsars and black hole magnetosphere, non-relativistic and relativistic shocks, relativistic jets, and laser-plasma physics. We review a plethora of astrophysical phenomena such as relativistic jets, instabilities, magnetic reconnection, pulsars, as well as PIC simulations of laser-plasma physics (until 2021) emphasizing the physics involved in the simulations. Finally, we give an outlook of the future simulations of jets associated to neutron stars, black holes and their merging and discuss the future of PIC simulations in the light of petascale and exascale computing.
