Similarity for downscaled kinetic simulations of electrostatic plasmas: reconciling the large system size with small Debye length
Yanzeng Zhang, Haotian Mao, Yuzhi Li +1
A simple similarity has been proposed for kinetic (e.g., particle-in-cell) simulations of plasma transport that can effectively address the longstanding challenge of reconciling th…

Rapid assimilation of high-Z impurity ions along the magnetic field line from an ablated pellet
Haotian Mao, Yanzeng Zhang, Xianzhu Tang
The assimilation of ablated high-Z impurities into the hot surrounding plasma along the magnetic field is investigated by first-principles kinetic simulations. It is found that the…

Emission of electromagnetic waves as a stopping mechanism for nonlinear collisionless ionization waves in a high- regime
Haotian Mao, Kathleen Weichman, Zheng Gong +3
A high energy density plasma embedded in a neutral gas is able to launch an outward-propagating nonlinear electrostatic ionization wave that traps energetic electrons. The trapping…
