Structure preservation using discrete gradients in the Vlasov-Poisson-Landau system
Daniel S. Finn, Joseph V. Pusztay, Matthew G. Knepley +1
We present a novel structure-preserving framework for solving the Vlasov-Poisson-Landau system of equations using a particle in cell (PIC) discretization combined with discrete gra…

A projection method for particle resampling
Mark F. Adams, Daniel S. Finn, Matthew G. Knepley +1
Particle discretizations of partial differential equations are advantageous for high-dimensional kinetic models in phase space due to their better scalability than continuum approa…

A Numerical Study of Landau Damping with PETSc-PIC
Daniel S. Finn, Matthew G. Knepley, Joseph V. Pusztay +1
We present a study of the standard plasma physics test, Landau damping, using the Particle-In-Cell (PIC) algorithm. The Landau damping phenomenon consists of the damping of small o…
