An adaptive and conservative low-rank IMEX solver for the hybrid ion Vlasov-Fokker-Planck and fluid electron system
Joseph Nakao, Dylan T. Jacobs, William Taitano
We present a macroscopically conservative, rank-adaptive method for solving a hybrid Vlasov-Fokker-Planck (VFP) equation in which the ions are treated kinetically, and the electron…
A Nodal Discontinuous Galerkin Method with Rank-Adaptive Velocity Space Representation for the Multiscale BGK Model
Andres Galindo-Olarte, Joseph Nakao, Mirjeta Pasha +2
A novel hybrid algorithm is presented for the Boltzmann-BGK equation, in which a rank-adaptive decomposition is applied solely in the velocity subspace, while a full-rank represent…
Efficient Sketching-Based Summation of Tucker Tensors
Rudi Smith, Mirjeta Pasha, Andrés Galindo-Olarte +5
We present efficient, sketching-based methods for the summation of tensors in Tucker format. Leveraging the algebraic structure of Khatri-Rao and Kronecker products, our approach e…
A Structure-Preserving Penalization Method for the Single-species Rosenbluth-Fokker-Planck Equation
Hamad El Kahza, Luis Chacón, William Taitano +2
The Rosenbluth-Fokker-Planck (RFP) equation describes Coulomb collisional dynamics within and across species in plasmas. It belongs to the broader class of anisotropic-diffusion-ad…
An optimization-based positivity-preserving limiter in semi-implicit discontinuous Galerkin schemes solving Fokker-Planck equations
Chen Liu, Jingwei Hu, William T. Taitano +1
For high-order accurate schemes such as discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods solving Fokker-Planck equations, it is desired to efficiently enforce positivity without losing conserva…
