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…

Quantifying the Effect of Non-Larmor Motion of Electrons on the Pressure Tensor
H. Che, C. Schiff, G. Le +3
In space plasma, various effects of magnetic reconnection and turbulence cause the electron motion to significantly deviate from their Larmor orbits. Collectively these orbits affe…
