Counter-streaming heat-flux closure for electron-only collisionless magnetic reconnection
Madox C. McGrae-Menge, Jacob R. Pierce, Maria Almanza +6
In electron-only collisionless magnetic reconnection (MR), a regime of growing importance in turbulent space plasmas, electrons develop strongly non-Maxwellian distributions that i…

Machine-learning Closure for Vlasov-Poisson Dynamics in Fourier-Hermite Space
Nathaniel Barbour, William Dorland, Ian G. Abel +1
Accurate reduced models of turbulence are desirable to facilitate the optimization of magnetic-confinement fusion reactor designs. As a first step toward higher-dimensional turbule…
