3D Hybrid PIC simulation of plasma cloud expansion

Model. At the initial time $t=0$ an explosion occurs at the point MATH in a region MATH with a magnetic field MATH and filled with a plasma of density $n_{0}=n_{0}(x,y,z)$. The explosion forms a cloud of dense plasma of radius $R_{0}$ containing $N$ particles .

At the initial time, the velocity of the ions in the cloud is distributed linearly along the radius:

MATH

Here $R$ - radius vector in spherical coordinates, $V_{0}$- is the maximum velocity of the ions in the cloud.

Simulation example.

Initial parameters:

$\vec{B}_{0}$ $(0,0,B_{z})$, $B_{z}=100$ Gs
$V_{0}$ = 1.00E+07 cm/s
$N$ 6.00E+18
$n_{0}$ 1.00E+15
$M_{A}=V_{0}/V_{A}$ 14.5
0.83
