Abstract

Summary form only given. The PDS1 particle-in-cell Monte-Carlo-Collision (PIC-MCC) code has been modified for simulating the Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC) device which has multiple collision processes and electrical grids in a spherical geometry. PDS1 can give a detailed account of the transient and steady-state plasma physics occurring in the IEC device. Two experimental single-grid devices and one triple-grid conceptual device were simulated.
