kobra: a new Vlasov code intended for plasma-wall modeling
Sebastian Konewko, Nathan Maestracci, Sven Van Loo
In a fusion device plasma-wall interactions \edit{on the sheath scale} can be modeled as a collisionless problem. When modeling these regions particle-in-cell codes suffer from sta…
Modeling of plasma transport during edge-localized mode in tokamak using a kinetic Vlasov-Poisson code
Ce Wang, Sven Van Loo, Geert Verdoolaege
A kinetic parallel transport code KOBRA based on a finite-volume method is developed to study edge localized mode (ELM) plasma transport from the mid-plane to divertor targets. The…
Stability of scrape-off layer plasma: a modified Rayleigh-Benard problem
Fryderyk Wilczynski, David W. Hughes, Sven Van Loo +2
We present a linear stability analysis of a two-dimensional fluid model used to study the plasma dynamics in the scrape-off layer of tokamaks. The model equations are based on the…
Dusty Magnetohydrodynamics in Star Forming Regions
S. Van Loo, S. A. E. G. Falle, T. W. Hartquist +2
Star formation occurs in dark molecular regions where the number density of hydrogen nuclei, nH, exceeds 10^4 cc and the fractional ionization is 10^-7 or less. Dust grains with si…
