摘要
In this paper we present a rigorous method for finding the electric field in two-and-one-half and three dimensional electromagnetic plasma simulations without resorting to computationally expensive transforms. A finite grid interpretation of the divergence equation del . J = - partial derivative-rho/partial derivative t is offered which allows the current density and thus new local electric and magnetic field strengths to be determined directly from knowledge of charge motion.
