A cancellation problem in hybrid particle-in-cell schemes due to finite particle size
A. Stanier, L. Chacon, A. Le
The quasi-neutral hybrid particle-in-cell algorithm with kinetic ions and fluid electrons is a popular model to study multi-scale problems in laboratory, space, and astrophysical p…

Influence of 3D plasmoid dynamics on the transition from collisional to kinetic reconnection
A. Stanier, W. Daughton, A. Le +2
Within the resistive magnetohydrodynamic model, high-Lundquist number reconnection layers are unstable to the plasmoid instability, leading to a turbulent evolution where the recon…
