7 ...several of the basic concepts on which the theories are founded, are not applicable to the condition prevailing in cosmos. They are «generally accepted» by most theoreticians, they are developed with the most sophisticated mathematical methods and it is only the plasma itself which does not «understand», how beautiful the theories are and absolutely refuses to obey them.... Hannes Alfven, Plasma physics, space research and the origin of the solar system, Nobel Lecture, December 11, 1970

15 Equations Full particle model. Electrons and ions as particles Hybrid model. Particle ions, fluid electrons Need to resolve the electron time and spatial scales Resolve ion time and spatial scale Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). Temporal and spatial scales larger than ion scales
16 The Hybrid Model Particle ions, massless e fluid B field on a grid
17 Ampere's law e- momentum eq:n Ohm's law Faraday's law
18 Electron Pressure

20 Particle Simulation Cycle 5) Compute Accelerations Lorentz, Gravity, Radiation pressure,... 4) 6) Deposit charges/currents CollideParticles DSMC 3) Move Particles Leap Frog (High order symplectic time integrator) 1) Sort Particles Add/Delete Particles Particle Cell map Sources/Sinks 2) FLASH Redistribute Particles Update Grid Each Particle to the correct Block/Processors Refine or Coarsen Blocks. Redistribute Blocks
21 Spatial discretization Standard 2nd order FD Non staggered grid. Div(B) = 0 still conserved (Toth 2000)
22 Cyclic Leapfrog B field Update
23 Energy conservation 1D two stream instability
24 Energy conservation
25 Spatial and Temporal Scales
26 Work Estimate for Different Solar System Objects Solar wind density Solar wind magnetic field Ion inertial length ~Arithmetic operations Object size Proton gyroperiod Solar wind traversal time ~Number grid cells
27 Outstanding questions regarding hybrid models How does the accuracy depend on the spatial resolution, in relation to the ion inertial length, δ i? How does the accuracy depend on the number of particles per cell? How does the accuracy depend on spatial smoothing of charge density, currents, and fields?
28 The FLASH Code Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) solver that can include particles From University of Chicago General compressible flow solver Adaptive (Paramesh) and parallel (MPI) Open source, Fortran 90 Add boundary conditions and sources for solar system objects - solar wind simulations (Mercury, Venus, earth, moon, Mars,...) Investigations: A comet (MHD with a photoion source) Mars' exosphere (particles) Exoplanet exosphere Moon, Phobos, Mars hybrid models

31 Timings: Increasing problem size x8 x8 Going to Ethernet 8.6 M particles 4 proc 69 M particles 32 proc 549 M particles 256 proc All runs were done at LUNARC, Lund University, Sweden, on a 1008 core cluster of Intel Xeon 5160 (3.0 GHz) with four cores and 4 GB memory per node, connected by GigaBit Ethernet.

35 Depletion of ions Two stream instability in tail. Good example of when Hybrid is needed
