This paper introduces an isoparametric analysis to solve the Vlasov equation with a semi-Lagrangian scheme. A Vlasov-Poisson problem modeling a heavy ion beam in an axisymmetric configuration is considered. Numerical experiments are conducted on computational meshes targeting different geometries. The impact of the computational grid on the accuracy and the computational cost are shown. The use of analytical mapping or Bézier patches does not induce...
