Conformal (or body-fitted) electromagnetic particle-in-cell (EM-PIC) numerical solution schemes are reviewed. Included is a chronological history of relevant particle physics algorithms often employed in these conformal simulations. Brief mathematical descriptions of particle-tracking algorithms and current weighting schemes are provided, along with a brief summary of major time-dependent electromagnetic solution methods. Several research areas are also highlighted for recommended future development of new conformal EM-PIC methods.
