The Equations of Reduced Magnetohydrodynamics in Dipole Coordinates

Ian M. DesJardin, Christopher Bard, Natalia Y. Buzulukova +1

The equations of reduced magnetohydrodynamics (RMHD) isolate the Alfvénic energy transfer and turbulence dynamics from MHD in a computationally tractable way. In this study, we der…

High-Performance Computational Magnetohydrodynamics with Python

Chris Bard, John Dorelli

We present the AGATE simulation code, a Python-based framework developed primarily for solving the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations while maintaining adaptability to other equa…

Advanced methods for analyzing in-situ observations of magnetic reconnection

H. Hasegawa, M. R. Argall, N. Aunai +33

There is ample evidence for magnetic reconnection in the solar system, but it is a nontrivial task to visualize, to determine the proper approaches and frames to study, and in turn…

Deep Learning for Space Weather Prediction: Bridging the Gap between Heliophysics Data and Theory

John C. Dorelli, Chris Bard, Thomas Y. Chen +11

Traditionally, data analysis and theory have been viewed as separate disciplines, each feeding into fundamentally different types of models. Modern deep learning technology is begi…

On the deviation from Maxwellian of the ion velocity distribution functions in the turbulent magnetosheath

Silvia Perri, D. Perrone, E. Yordanova +20

The degree of deviation from the thermodynamic equilibrium in the ion velocity distribution functions (VDFs), measured by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission in the Earth's…

Decomposition of Plasma Kinetic Entropy into Position and Velocity Space and the Use of Kinetic Entropy in Particle-in-Cell Simulations

Haoming Liang, Paul A. Cassak, Sergio Servidio +9

We describe a systematic development of kinetic entropy as a diagnostic in fully kinetic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations and use it to interpret plasma physics processes in heli…
