A High-Order Low-Order extended moment method for the Vlasov-Darwin particle-in-cell system
Derek A. Kuldinow, William T. Taitano, Kentaro Hara
In this study, we develop an extended implicit moment method, namely, a coupled high-order low-order (HOLO) method and apply it to the electromagnetic Vlasov-Darwin model. The high…
A Multiscale Eulerian Vlasov-Rosenbluth-Fokker-Planck Algorithm for Thermonuclear Burning Plasmas
Benjamin L. Reichelt, William T. Taitano, Brett D. Keenan +4
Accurate treatment of energetic fusion byproducts in laboratory plasmas often requires a kinetic description, owing to their large birth kinetic energy and long mean-free-paths com…
A conditional formulation of the Vlasov-Ampere Equations: A conservative, positivity, asymptotic, and Gauss law preserving scheme
William T Taitano, Joshua W Burby, Alex Alekseenko
We propose a novel reformulation of the Vlasov-Amp{è}re equations for plasmas. This reformulation exposes discrete symmetries to achieve simultaneous conservation of mass, momentum…
An efficient, conservative, time-implicit solver for the fully kinetic arbitrary-species 1D-2V Vlasov-Ampère system
Steven E. Anderson, William T. Taitano, Luis Chacón +1
We consider the solution of the fully kinetic (including electrons) Vlasov-Ampère system in a one-dimensional physical space and two-dimensional velocity space (1D-2V) for an arbit…
A conservative phase-space moving-grid strategy for a 1D-2V Vlasov-Fokker-Planck Equation
William Tsubasa Taitano, Luis Chacon, Andrei Simakov +1
We develop a conservative phase-space grid-adaptivity strategy for the Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation in a planar geometry. The velocity-space grid is normalized to the thermal spee…
Deciphering the Kinetic Structure of Multi-Ion Plasma Shocks
Brett D. Keenan, Andrei N. Simakov, Luis Chacon +1
Strong collisional shocks in multi-ion plasmas are featured in many high-energy-density environments, including Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) implosions. However, their basic s…
