AI 中文摘要
采用谱宏粒子模拟方案对彭宁-马尔姆伯格（Penning-Malmberg）阱中非中性等离子体动力学进行建模。该无网格数值方案适配圆柱导管内被俘获等离子体的特定几何结构，可处理纵向与横向分布的变化。截止谱谐波可调控精度与噪声平滑间的权衡，这在三维情形中尤为重要。我们证明该方案可从固有模拟噪声中获取等离子体模式的色散关系，为理解等离子体行为提供了重要工具。在旋转壁驱动存在时，该数值方案可重现受驱动本征模式的时间演化，识别随驱动振幅增大出现的模式混合现象，并获取压缩率对驱动频率的依赖关系——该关系是旋转壁技术弱驱动区的已知结论。据作者所知，此类模拟迄今尚未见文献报道。
英文摘要
A spectral macroparticle simulation scheme is used to model non-neutral plasma dynamics in a Penning-Malmberg trap. This grid-free numerical scheme is well adapted to the specific geometry of trapped plasmas, with varying longitudinal and transverse profiles in a cylindrical conducting pipe. The cutoff spectral harmonics provide control over the trade-off between accuracy and noise smoothing, which is especially important in the three-dimensional case. We demonstrate the ability of this scheme to obtain the dispersion relation of the plasma modes from the inherent simulation noise, providing a valuable tool for understanding the plasma's behavior. In the presence of a rotating wall drive, we show that the numerical scheme can reproduce the time evolution of the driven eigenmodes, identify the onset of mode mixing with increasing drive amplitude and retrieve the compression rate dependency on the drive frequency, known from the weak drive regime of the rotating wall technique. To the authors' knowledge, such simulations have not been reported in the literature so far.
