Hi Jon,
I am continuing a conversation that was started on stack overflow about charged particle flow in plasmas <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66875318/fipy-for-charged-particle-flow/66880022#66880022>. Where we left off was solving the electrostatic Poisson equation before trying the transient Poisson equation. Commenting on the importance of transience raised in stack overflow, describing the transience of the electric field is indeed important to describe the plasma system of interest. Code is attached as a .ipynb file and a .py file (whichever one is more convenient for you). The current output of the code is an error: “ValueError: all the input arrays must have same number of dimensions, but the array at index 0 has 1 dimension(s) and the array at index 2 has 2 dimension(s)” I am confused why this error comes up, do you have any idea? The equations stated and fed into FiPy all reduce to scalars, so I don’t understand where the fault may be. I am following your suggestion of expressing the Poisson equation in terms of the electric potential rather than in terms of electric field. I will update as I make progress. I really appreciate your help. Let me know if there is any information missing.
