PHARE : Parallel hybrid particle-in-cell code with patch-based adaptive mesh refinement
Nicolas Aunai, Roch Smets, Andrea Ciardi +5
Modeling multi-scale collisionless magnetized processes constitutes an important numerical challenge. By treating electrons as a fluid and ions kinetically, the so-called hybrid Pa…
A new method to dispatch split particles in Particle-In-Cell codes
Roch Smets, Nicolas Aunais, ANdrea Ciardi +3
Particle-In-Cell codes are widely used for plasma physics simulations. It is often the case that particles within a computational cell need to be split to improve the statistics or…
Numerical study of non-gyrotropic electron pressure effects in collisionless magnetic reconnection
A. Sladkov, R. Smets, N. Aunai +1
We investigate the time evolution of the six-component electron pressure tensor in a hybrid code studying consequences for the two-dimensional reconnection process in an initially…
Automatic detection of Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections from in-situ data: a deep learning approach
Gautier Nguyen, Nicolas Aunai, Dominique Fontaine +6
Decades of studies have suggested several criteria to detect Interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICME) in time series from in-situ spacecraft measurements. Among them the most c…
SMILEI: a collaborative, open-source, multi-purpose particle-in-cell code for plasma simulation
J. Derouillat, A. Beck, F. Pérez +10
SMILEI is a collaborative, open-source, object-oriented (C++) particle-in-cell code. To benefit from the latest advances in high-performance computing (HPC), SMILEI is co-developed…
BV technique for investigating 1-D interfaces
Nicolas Dorville, Gérard Belmont, Laurence Rezeau +2
To investigate the internal structure of the magnetopause with spacecraft data, it is crucial to be able to determine its normal direction and to convert the measured time series i…
Influence of the dissipation mechanism on collisionless magnetic reconnection in symmetric and asymmetric current layers
Nicolas Aunai, Michael Hesse, Carrie Black +2
Numerical studies implementing different versions of the collisionless Ohm's law have shown a reconnection rate insensitive to the nature of the non-ideal mechanism occuring at the…
Comparison between hybrid and fully kinetic models of asymmetric magnetic reconnection: coplanar and guide field configurations
Nicolas Aunai, Michael Hesse, Seiji Zenitani +4
Magnetic reconnection occurring in collisionless environments is a multi-scale process involving both ion and electron kinetic processes. Because of their small mass, the electron…
