CFHall Code Validation with 3D3V Weibel Instability Simulation

Despite the existence of massively parallel codes and their application to plasma simulation, in the field of computer simulations the unsolved problems still remain. The necessity of various approximations in practical problems, for example, decreasing of the simulation dimension and physical parameter calibrations, arises, but such approximations can make the simulation results questionable.

While aiming for the maximal efficiency of computational algorithms it is possible to manage without the majority of popular approximations and to broaden the applicability limits of the numerical research. Such possibility arises with the use of the Locally Recursive non-Locally Asynchronous (LRnLA) algorithms as the base for a program code. This was used as a basis for CFHall plasma simulation code development. CFHall is presented in this work along with the brief description of the underlying algorithms. The applicability of the CFHall to plasma instability simulation is demonstrated on the example of weibel instability simulation.
