A comparison of methods for finding magnetic nulls in simulations and in situ observations of space plasmas
Vyacheslav Olshevsky, David Pontin, Benjamin Williams +5
Magnetic nulls are ubiquitous in space plasmas, and are of interest as sites of localized energy dissipation or magnetic reconnection. As such, a number of methods have been propos…
Kinetic Modeling of Magnetospheres
Stefano Markidis, Vyacheslav Olshevsky, Gabor Toth +4
This paper presents the state of the art of kinetic modeling techniques for simulating plasma kinetic dynamics in magnetospheres. We describe the critical numerical techniques for…
Particle-in-Cell Simulations of Plasma Dynamics in Cometary Environment
Chaitanya Prasad Sishtla, Vyacheslav Olshevsky, Steven W. D. Chien +2
We perform and analyze global Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulations of the interaction between solar wind and an outgassing comet with the goal of studying the plasma kinetic dynamics…
Properties of turbulence in the reconnection exhaust: numerical simulations compared with observations
F. Pucci, S. Servidio, L. Sorriso-Valvo +6
The properties of the turbulence which develops in the outflows of magnetic reconnection have been investigated using self-consistent plasma simulations, in three dimensions. As co…
Non-linear Waves and Instabilities Leading to Secondary Reconnection in Reconnection Outflows
Giovanni Lapenta, Francesco Pucci, Vyacheslav Olshevsky +4
Reconnection outflows are regions of intense recent scrutiny, from in situ observations and from simulations. These regions are host to a variety of instabilities and intense energ…
