Integrated 3D fully kinetic simulation of field-reversed-configuration formation with embedded coils
Bowen Zhu, Jian Wu
We present an integrated, three-dimensional, fully kinetic particle-in-cell simulation of field-reversed-configuration (FRC) formation at the device scale. To our knowledge, this i…

A Flow-Based Hybrid Approach for Kinetic Plasma Simulations: Bridging Direct Vlasov and Particle Methods
Bowen Zhu, Jian Wu, Yuanbo Lu
We present a novel flow-based kinetic approach, inspired by continuous normalizing flows, for plasma simulation that unifies the complementary strengths of direct Vlasov solvers an…
