PolyPIC: The Polymorphic-Particle-in-Cell Method for Fluid-Kinetic Coupling
Particle-in-Cell (PIC) methods are widely used computational tools for fluid and kinetic plasma modeling. While both the fluid and kinetic PIC approaches have been successfully used to target either kinetic or fluid simulations, little was done to combine fluid and kinetic particles under the same P...
