An inclusive curvature-like framework for describing dissipation: metriplectic 4-bracket dynamics
Philip J. Morrison, Michael H. Updike
An inclusive framework for joined Hamiltonian and dissipative dynamical systems, which preserve energy and produce entropy, is given. The dissipative dynamics of the framework is b…
Chaotic and integrable magnetic fields in one-dimensional hybrid Vlasov-Maxwell equilibria
Dimitrios A. Kaltsas, Philip J. Morrison, George N. Throumoulopoulos
In this paper, we develop a one-dimensional (1-D), quasineutral, hybrid Vlasov-Maxwell equilibrium model with kinetic ions and massless fluid electrons and derive associated soluti…
A Hamiltonian and geometric formulation of general Vlasov-Maxwell-type models
William Barham, Philip J. Morrison, Eric Sonnendrücker
Three geometric formulations of the Hamiltonian structure of the macroscopic Maxwell equations are given: one in terms of the double de Rham complex, one in terms of L2 duality, an…
Mean field theory for intense light-matter interactions in high energy density plasmas
J. W. Burby, P. J. Morrison
We present a generalization of Vlasov-Maxwell kinetic theory that accounts for intense electromagnetic fields. A strongly-radiating, possibly optically-thick plasma is decomposed i…
Notes on a 1-dimensional electrostatic plasma model
F. Pegoraro, P. J. Morrison
A starting point for deriving the Vlasov equation is the BBGKY hierarchy that describes the dynamics of coupled marginal distribution functions. With a large value of the plasma pa…
Dual PIC: a structure preserving method for discretizing Lie-Poisson brackets
William Barham, Philip J. Morrison
We consider a general discretization strategy for Hamiltonian field theories generated by Lie-Poisson brackets which we call dual PIC (DPIC). This method involves prescribing two d…
