Abstract:
We know that most of the material world is composed of plasma. Plasma, or the fourth state of matter, is a quasi-neutral gas that consists of charged and neutral particles and exhibits collective behavior. Magnetic mirrors are a method of plasma confinement in which the amount of magnetic field increases and decreases in the direction of the field. Due to the complexity and multiplicity of equations required to investigate plasma, computer simulation is one of our most important tools to study it, which we can study by simulating magnetic mirrors. For simulation, we use pencil code. The pencil code is a modular simulation code with MPI capability for solving partial differential equations and particles. In this research, the shape and behavior of the flow in β is approximately equal to one and the frozen field regime has been investigated and plotted. Also, the rate of changes in the mass of the fluid due to its exit from the two ends of the magnetic mirrors in different regimes has been obtained and analyzed
