Geometric numerical discretization of a quasineutral hybrid model of drift-kinetic electrons and fully kinetic ions

Nishant Narechania, Guo Meng, Emil Poulsen +1

We extend the geometric electromagnetic particle-in-cell (PIC) framework, GEMPICX, to solve the quasineutral hybrid Vlasov-Maxwell equations with drift-kinetic electrons and fully…
