Adaptive Multi-Dimensional Particle In Cell
Giovanni Lapenta
Kinetic Particle In Cell (PIC) methods can extend greatly their range of applicability if implicit time differencing and spatial adaption are used to address the wide range of time…

Self-Feeding Turbulent Magnetic Reconnection on Macroscopic Scales
Giovanni Lapenta
Within a MHD approach we find magnetic reconnection to progress in two entirely different ways. The first is well-known: the laminar Sweet-Parker process. But a second, completely…

Spontaneous large scale momentum exchange by microinstabilities: an analogy between tokamaks and space plasmas
Giovanni Lapenta
Based on a recent theory (Coppi, Nuclear Fusion, 42, 1, 2002) of spontaneous toroidal rotation in tokamaks (Lee et al, Phys Rev Lett, 91, 205003, 2003) and in astrophysical accreti…
