This paper describes the current state of the EUTERPE code, focusing on the implemented models and their numerical implementation. The code is capable of solving the multi-species electromagnetic gyrokinetic equations in a three-dimensional domain. It utilizes noise reduction techniques and grid resolution transformation for efficient computation. Additionally, various hybrid models are implemented for comparison and the study of plasma-particle interactions. The code is parallelized for high scalability on multiple CPUs.
The current state of the EUTERPE code is described with emphasis on the implemented models and their numerical implementation. The code solves the multi-species electromagnetic gyrokinetic equations in the full volume of a three-dimensional domain. Noise reduction of the particle-in-cell method is achieved by using a delta f-method and Fourier filters. The field equations are discretized with B-splines and the resulting system of equations is solved iteratively. For linear simulations a phase-factor transformation is applied in order to strongly reduce the necessary grid resolution. Apart from the full gyrokinetic model, other numerically less expensive hybrid models are also implemented. They are mainly tailored for comparison with fluid theory and for studying the interaction of the bulk plasma with fast particles. The code is parallelized for CPUs by particle and domain decomposition. Good scalability up to several thousand nodes is demonstrated.
