  • fix wrong velocity for for z-flux calculation

The zigzag implementation split all particle trajectories for any direction in two independent trajectories.
The current implementation also need to does it for the z-direction in 2D, therefore the velocity must halved.

affects simulations only all of the following applies:

  • 2D3V simulations with a relevant component v.z (e.g., a warm plasma)
  • ZigZag solver was used for charged species

- fix wrong velocity for for z-flux calculation

Might be we should add this bug fix to the up coming PIConGPU version 0.1

purely transverse KHI (positrons/electrons)

since the initial flow of particles is in -/+z direction, the feedback loop and due to that growth rate was "roughly doubled" in this test case.
