A Tensor-Train Discontinuous Galerkin Method for the Vlasov-Maxwell System

Rujeko Chinomona, Dibyendu Adak, William J. Barham +4

We present a tensor-train discontinuous Galerkin (TT-DG) formulation for the Vlasov--Maxwell system that combines a modal DG discretization with low-rank tensor representations of…

A thermodynamically consistent discretization of 1D thermal-fluid models using their metriplectic 4-bracket structure

William Barham, Philip J. Morrison, Azeddine Zaidni

Thermodynamically consistent models in continuum physics, i.e. models which satisfy the first and second laws of thermodynamics, may be expressed using the metriplectic formalism.…

A mimetic discretization of Westervelt's equation

William Barham, Philip J. Morrison

A broad class of nonlinear acoustic wave models possess a Hamiltonian structure in their dissipation-free limit and a gradient flow structure for their dissipative dynamics. This s…

On finite-dimensional smoothed-particle Hamiltonian reductions of the Vlasov equation

William Barham, Philip J. Morrison

The inclusion of spatial smoothing in finite-dimensional particle-based Hamiltonian reductions of the Vlasov equation are considered. In the context of the Vlasov-Poisson equation…

A Hamiltonian and geometric formulation of general Vlasov-Maxwell-type models

William Barham, Philip J. Morrison, Eric Sonnendrücker

Three geometric formulations of the Hamiltonian structure of the macroscopic Maxwell equations are given: one in terms of the double de Rham complex, one in terms of L2 duality, an…

Dual PIC: a structure preserving method for discretizing Lie-Poisson brackets

William Barham, Philip J. Morrison

We consider a general discretization strategy for Hamiltonian field theories generated by Lie-Poisson brackets which we call dual PIC (DPIC). This method involves prescribing two d…
