摘要

An optimization algorithm for pairwise nuclear fusion with arbitrarily weighted macroparticles is proposed and demonstrated using particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. A faster computation of the Coulomb collision operator is achieved compared with that obtained through the classical nuclear fusion algorithm. Thus, the proposed algorithm can be implemented in the PIC simulation code with marginal effort. The algorithm is benchmarked in scenarios with like-particles, D(d,n) \({^{3}\text {He}}\) 3 He , unlike-particles, D(t,n) \({^{4}\text {He}}\) 4 He , thermonuclear fusion, and beam-target fusion. Moreover, the CPU time could be reduced significantly without reducing the simulation accuracy.
