Particle tracking simulations

Attention

This functionality is under development. Backward incompatible changes might occur in future releases.

Introduction

This module contains the ParticleTracker class, which is a simple particle stepper implementing the Boris algorithm.

This module is highly unstable and is expected to change a lot in the future.

Examples

Particle Tracker

API

Module containing the definition for the general particle tracker.

Classes

AbstractSaveRoutine([output_directory])	Abstract base class containing the necessary methods for a ParticleTracker save routine.
AbstractTerminationCondition()	Abstract base class containing the necessary methods for a ParticleTracker termination condition.
DoNotSaveSaveRoutine()	The default save routine for the ParticleTracker class.
IntervalSaveRoutine(interval, **kwargs)	Abstract class describing a save routine that saves every given interval.
NoParticlesOnGridsTerminationCondition()	Termination condition corresponding to stopping the simulation when all particles have exited the grid.
ParticleTracker(grids[, ...])	A particle tracker for particles in electric and magnetic fields without inter-particle interactions.
TimeElapsedTerminationCondition(termination_time)	Termination condition corresponding to the elapsed time of a ParticleTracker.
