CHAOS: An octree-based PIC-DSMC code for modeling of electron kinetic properties in a plasma plume using MPI-CUDA parallelization

•Linearized Morton Z-ordered forest of octrees with 2:1 criterion are implemented to discretize the domain for PIC.•The Poisson's equation is discretized and solved the preconditioned conjugate gradient method using multiple CPUs and GPUs.•Particle-to-octree mapping and face-neighbor computatio...
