Nonlocal current-driven heat flow in ideal plasmas
Nicholas Mitchell, David Chapman, Grigory Kagan
Electron heat flux is an important and often dominant mechanism of energy transport in a variety of collisional plasmas in a confined fusion or astrophysical context. While nonloca…

Richtmyer-Meshkov Instability at high Mach Number: Non-Newtonian Effects
Usman Rana, Thomas Abadie, David Chapman +2
The Richtmyer-Meshkov instability (RMI) occurs when a shock wave passes through an interface between fluids of different densities, a phenomenon prevalent in a variety of scenarios…

A reduced kinetic method for investigating non-local ion heat transport in ideal multi-species plasmas
Nicholas Mitchell, David Chapman, Christopher McDevitt +2
A reduced kinetic method (RKM) with a first-principle collision operator is introduced in a 1D2V planar geometry and implemented in a computationally inexpensive code to investigat…
