Variational Formulation of a Hybrid Kinetic and Gyrokinetic Model for Astrophysical and Laboratory Plasmas
F. N. deOliveira-Lopes, S. C. Thatikonda, D. Told +5
We present a Lagrangian model that encapsulates fully kinetic ions and gyrokinetic electrons for solar wind electromagnetic turbulence. Using a consistent method, where both electr…

Investigating the Lower Hybrid Drift Instability in Reconnecting Current Sheets Using a Hybrid Kinetic Model (ssV Code)
S. Thatikonda, F. N. De Oliveira-Lopes, A. Mustonen +3
We investigate the nonlinear evolution of the lower hybrid drift instability (LHDI) in reconnecting current sheets using a hybrid kinetic simulation model implemented in the Super…

Verification of a hybrid gyrokinetic model using the advanced semi-Lagrange code ssV
Sreenivasa chary Thatikonda, F. N. De Oliveira-Lopes, A. Mustonen +3
The super simple Vlasov (ssV) code was developed to study instabilities, turbulence, and reconnection in weakly magnetized plasmas, such as the solar wind in the dissipation range…
