摘要:

我们提出了一个集成到 Athena++ 框架中的新型磁流体动力学-粒子网格(MHD-PIC)代码。该代码以传统 PIC 代码的方式处理高能粒子,而其余热等离子体则被视为由 MHD 描述的背景流体,因此主要针对涉及宇宙线(CRs)动理学物理的多尺度天体物理问题。该代码在插值和粒子沉积方面针对高效向量化进行了优化,具有出色的并行扩展能力。该代码还兼容静态/自适应网格细化,并通过动态负载平衡进一步增强多尺度模拟。此外,我们实现了一个压缩/膨胀盒框架,允许对宇宙线压力各向异性进行绝热驱动,以及 δf 方法,该方法可以在分布函数 f 预期仅略微偏离背景的问题中大幅降低泊松噪声。代码性能通过一系列基准测试问题得到展示,包括非相对论平行激波中的粒子加速。特别地,我们在周期性和膨胀/压缩盒设置下,重现了宇宙线回旋共振(流动和各向异性压力)不稳定性的线性增长。我们预期该代码将为广泛的天体物理和等离子体物理应用开辟道路。

英文摘要:

We present a new magnetohydrodynamic-particle-in-cell (MHD-PIC) code integrated into the Athena++ framework. It treats energetic particles as in conventional PIC codes while the rest of thermal plasmas are treated as background fluid described by MHD, thus primarily targeting at multi-scale astrophysical problems involving the kinetic physics of the cosmic-rays (CRs). The code is optimized toward efficient vectorization in interpolation and particle deposits, with excellent parallel scaling. The code is also compatible with static/adaptive mesh refinement, with dynamic load balancing to further enhance multi-scale simulations. In addition, we have implemented a compressing/expanding box framework which allows adiabatic driving of CR pressure anisotropy, as well as the $δf$ method that can dramatically reduce Poisson noise in problems where distribution function $f$ is only expected to slightly deviate from the background. The code performance is demonstrated over a series of benchmark test problems including particle acceleration in non-relativistic parallel shocks. In particular, we reproduce the linear growth of the CR gyro-resonant (streaming and pressure anisotropy) instabilities, under both the periodic and expanding/compressing box setting. We anticipate the code to open up the avenue for a wide range of astrophysical and plasma physics applications.
