Full particle simulation of a perpendicular collisionless shock: A shock-rest-frame model
Takayuki Umeda, Ryo Yamazaki
Abstract
The full kinetic dynamics of a perpendicular collisionless shock is studied by means of a one-dimensional electromagnetic full particle simulation. The present simulation domain is taken in the shock rest frame in contrast to the previous full particle simulations of shocks. Preliminary results show that the downstream state falls into a unique cyclic reformation state for a given set of upstream parameters through the self-consistent kinetic processes.
