Abstract

In the general framework of charged particle beam modelling, we present a numerical method for solving the 3D Vlasov equation on unstructured meshes. We pay a particular attention to the vectorization of the resulting algorithms. The analysis of the execution CPU time and the comparison with the 2D case indicate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
