Abstract
A new method based on a re-splitting δf technique is proposed to mitigate the cancellation problem in electro-magnetic gyrokinetic PIC simulation. This new scheme, together with the pull-back mitigation (PBM) scheme (Mishchenko et al., 2014), have recently been implemented in the GEM code (Chen et al., 2003). These two algorithms are systematically compared with the original GEM algorithm for the simulation of the ion temperature gradient (ITG) mode, the kinetic ballooning mode (KBM), the toroidal Alfvén eigenmode (TAE) and the energetic particle mode (EPM). The three algorithms agree well for all of these modes. Moreover, both the re-splitting method and PBM can mitigate the cancellation problem and improve the computational efficiency.
