Sign singularity of the local energy transfer in space plasma turbulence
Luca Sorriso-Valvo, Gaetano De Vita, Federico Fraternale +18
In weakly collisional space plasmas, the turbulent cascade provides most of the energy that is dissipated at small scales by various kinetic processes. Understanding the characteri…
ViDA: a Vlasov-DArwin solver for plasma physics at electron scales
Oreste Pezzi, Giulia Cozzani, Francesco Califano +6
We present a Vlasov-DArwin numerical code (ViDA) specifically designed to address plasma physics problems, where small-scale high accuracy is requested even during the non linear r…
Energy conversion in turbulent weakly-collisional plasmas: Eulerian Hybrid Vlasov-Maxwell simulations
O. Pezzi, Y. Yang, F. Valentini +4
Kinetic simulations based on the Eulerian Hybrid Vlasov-Maxwell (HVM) formalism permit the examination of plasma turbulence with useful resolution of the proton velocity distributi…
Proton-proton collisions in the turbulent solar wind: Hybrid Boltzmann-Maxwell simulations
O. Pezzi, D. Perrone, S. Servidio +3
The mechanism of heating for hot, dilute, and turbulent plasmas represents a long-standing problem in space physics, whose implications concern both near-Earth environments and ast…
Turbulence-driven ion beams in the magnetospheric Kelvin-Helmholtz instability
Luca Sorriso-Valvo, Filomena Catapano, Alessandro Retinò +21
The description of the local turbulent energy transfer, and the high-resolution ion distributions measured by the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission, together provide a formidable t…
