Description
|
|
The SPIS project, for Spacecraft Plasma Interaction System, aims at developing a software toolkit for spacecraft-plasma interactions and spacecraft charging modelling. It was started in December 2002. The main objectives of SPIS are the modelling of the spacecraft-plasma interaction, including electrostatic charging and ionic propulsion. This includes a simulation kernel (SPIS-NUM) and a complete Integrated Modelling Environnment (SPIS-UI).
SPIS is supported in the frame of the SPINE community.

Modelling of the surface plasma interaction in 3D electrostatic approach. SPIS is based on a PIC model on unstructured mesh. SPIS includes a complete Integrated Modelling Environment (IME) to allow to perform the whole modelling process from the pre-processing (e.g CAD, definition of IBCs), the simulation control and the post-processing (data analysis and 3D visualisation). SPIS has been used for several space missions (see http://www.spis.org) and ground applications (electronics).
