Metriplectic foundations of gyrokinetic Vlasov-Maxwell-Landau theory
arXiv:2203.08464 · doi:10.1063/5.0091727
Abstract
This letter reports on a metriplectic formulation of collisional, nonlinear full- electromagnetic gyrokinetic theory compliant with energy conservation and monotonic entropy production. In an axisymmetric background magnetic field, the toroidal angular momentum is also conserved. Notably, a new collisional current, contributing to the gyrokinetic Maxwell-Ampère equation and the gyrokinetic charge conservation law, is discovered.
