Decomposition of Solar Wind Velocity Distribution Functions with Orthogonal Polynomials
Byeongseon Park, Primoz Kajdic, Daniel Verscharen +7
We present a framework for decomposing solar-wind velocity distribution functions (VDFs) using orthogonal polynomial bases. We aim to establish a practical procedure for applying p…

Sub-ion scale current sheets in kinetic Alfvén wave turbulence
Johan Sharma, Ch Akshath Kumar, Kirit D. Makwana +2
3D kinetic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations are performed using the kinetic Alfvén wave (KAW) eigenvector relations from a two-fluid model as initial conditions, in order to stud…
