POS - a 1D time-dependent H+ ion source code

  • 1. Los Alamos National Lab., NM (USA)

Description

The code POS is based on the first three velocity moment's expansion of the transport equation, as derived in Braginskii's theory for two fully ionized fluids, H+ and e. The theory requires the solution of four (plasma density, drift velocity, electron and ion temperatures) coupled, time-dependent equations. These equations have been solved in one spatial dimension using the method of moving finite elements. (orig.)
