Physics of Circular Polarized Ion-Scale Waves in Hybrid Simulations of Alfvénic Fluctuations
Hai Yang Harry Qian, Trevor A. Bowen, Carlos A. Gonzalez +5
Ion cyclotron waves (ICW) and fast magnetosonic/whistler waves (FMW) are fundamental electromagnetic modes at ion kinetic scales, yet their generation mechanisms and roles in plasm…
The Second Quadratic Invariant of Astrophysical Gyrokinetics
Benjamin D. G. Chandran, Alfred Mallet, Romain Meyrand
We show that gyrokinetics in a spatially uniform equilibrium (or `astrophysical gyrokinetics') possesses a previously unknown quadratic invariant, which we call the gyrokinetic hel…
Viriato: a Fourier-Hermite spectral code for strongly magnetised fluid-kinetic plasma dynamics
N. F. Loureiro, W. Dorland, L. Fazendeiro +4
We report on the algorithms and numerical methods used in Viriato, a novel fluid-kinetic code that solves two distinct sets of equations: (i) the Kinetic Reduced Electron Heating M…
