Statistical inference of anomalous thermal transport with uncertainty quantification for interpretive 2-D SOL models

Yichen Fu, Ben Dudson, Xiao Chen +4

The critical task of inferring anomalous cross-field transport coefficients is addressed in simulations of boundary plasmas with fluid models. A workflow for parameter inference in…

Energy-momentum-conserving stochastic differential equations and algorithms for nonlinear Landau-Fokker-Planck equation

Yichen Fu, Justin R. Angus, Hong Qin +1

Coulomb collision is a fundamental diffusion process in plasmas that can be described by the Landau-Fokker-Planck (LFP) equation or the stochastic differential equation (SDE). Whil…

Topological modes and spectral flows in inhomogeneous PT-symmetric continuous media

Yichen Fu, Hong Qin

In classical Hermitian continuous media, the spectral-flow index of topological modes is linked to the bulk topology via index theorem. However, the interface between two bulks is…

Spin Hall effect of radiofrequency waves in magnetized plasmas

Yichen Fu, I. Y. Dodin, Hong Qin

In inhomogeneous media, electromagnetic-wave rays deviate from the trajectories predicted by the leading-order geometrical optics. This effect, called the spin Hall effect of light…

The dispersion and propagation of topological Langmuir-cyclotron waves in cold magnetized plasmas

Yichen Fu, Hong Qin

Topological Langmuir-Cyclotron Wave (TLCW) is a recently identified topological surface excitation in magnetized plasmas. We show that TLCW originates from the topological phase tr…

Spontaneous and explicit parity-time-symmetry breaking in drift wave instabilities

Hong Qin, Yichen Fu, Alexander S. Glasser +1

A method of Parity-Time (PT)-symmetry analysis is introduced to study the high dimensional, complicated parameter space of drift wave instabilities. We show that spontaneous PT-sym…

An Explicitly Solvable Energy-Conserving Algorithm for Pitch-Angle Scattering in Magnetized Plasmas

Yichen Fu, Xin Zhang, Hong Qin

We develop an Explicitly Solvable Energy-Conserving (ESEC) algorithm for the Stochastic Differential Equation (SDE) describing the pitch-angle scattering process in magnetized plas…

The Physics of Spontaneous Parity-Time Symmetry Breaking in the Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability

Yichen Fu, Hong Qin

We show that the dynamics, in particular the Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability, of an inviscid fluid with velocity shear admits Parity-Time (PT) symmetry, which provides a physical…
