Integrated ion trajectory simulations in OpenFOAM, an open source framework for complex numerical simulations

摘要

A solver for electrokinetic flow and a particle tracing solver for the simulation of ion trajectories have been developed based on the OpenFOAM framework. The simulation results obtained with the new solvers are in good qualitative agreement with the results from commercial solvers (SIMOIN, Comsol). A particle in cell solver was developed which is currently not commercially available.
