The code is working well, I guess. Hope the last run can match with the previous case, so that I don't need to further decrease the time step. If I have to further decrease the time step, however, probably I can't make it anymore, because it would take more than 8 days to get one result, that's not acceptable for me.
For the new idea that establishing an "acceleration distribution function" analogized with the "velocity distribution function" to study the effect of interactions between particles, what I predict is that the value of the peak should decrease, when the electron temperature is approaching the ion temperature, and when the equilibrium is present, the acceleration distribution function should be steady.
For now, I'm not sure if my prediction is correct, but I will see in 24 hours.
The method part and the result part of the paper are getting there. I just need to add the final run and revise it several times more.
I haven't touched the introduction part yet. I will know what to write after obtaining all the results, hopefully.
I believe this work is meaningful, but I really need to know others' opinions as soon as possible. If it turns out this work is totally wrong, it's fine, I will just give it up and start to think about something else.
The homework of that two courses is pretty hard. I need to read Dr. Wang's paper tomorrow. Hope I can figure something out and have an idea about where to begin. The orbital mechanics homework is also a little bit confusing. I believe it is more efficient to ask the TA before I further work on it. So, I will try to work on Dr. Wang's homework first.
Yanan is pretty busy recently. Take good care of yourself. Try to get rid of bad mood. We're going to be together soon!
