VORPAL

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

VORPAL (Versatile Object-oriented Relativistic Plasma Analysis with Lasers) is a computational plasma application that can predict the dynamics of electromagnetic systems, plasmas, and rarified as well as dense gases. VORPAL is used for modeling laser wake-field acceleration, plasma thrusters, fusion plasmas, and multipactoring in superconducting RF cavities.[1]
