Abstract: Title: Pure Monte Carlo Method: a Third Way for Plasma Simulation
Abstract: We bring a totally new concept for plasma simulation, other than the conventional two ways: Fluid/Kinetic Continuum (FKC) method and Particle-in-Cell (PIC) method. This method is based on Pure Monte Carlo (PMC), but far beyond conventional MC treatments. PMC solves all equations (kinetic, fluid, field) and treats all procedures (collisions, others) in the system via MC method. As shown in two paradigms, many advantages have found. It has shown the capability to be a third important approach for plasma simulation or even completely substitute the other two in the future. It's also suitable for many unsolved problems, then may bring plasma simulation to a new era. (Based on http://arxiv.org/abs/1210.2265 preprint paper, and more details will given.)
