High order DGTD-${\mathbb{P}}_p$ Maxwell solver for electric vulnerability studies

Participants : Joseph Charles, Loula Fezoui, Stéphane Lanteri, Muriel Sesques [CEA/CESTA, Bordeaux] .

The objective of this research grant with CEA/CESTA in Bordeaux is the development of a coupled Vlasov-Maxwell solver combining the high order DGTD-${\mathbb{P}}_p$ method on tetrahedral meshes developed in the team and a Particle-In-Cell method. The resulting DGTD-${\mathbb{P}}_p$/PIC solver is used for electrical vulnerability assessment of the experimental chamber of the Laser Mégajoule system.
