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…
Charged Particle Motion in Spherically Symmetric Distributions of Magnetic Monopoles
Robert Littlejohn, Philip Morrison, Jeffrey Heninger
The classical equations of motion of a charged particle in a spherically symmetric distribution of magnetic monopoles can be transformed into a system of linear equations, thereby…
Linear stability analysis via simulated annealing and accelerated relaxation
M. Furukawa, P. J. Morrison
Simulated annealing (SA) is a kind of relaxation method for finding equilibria of Hamiltonian systems. A set of evolution equations is solved with SA, which is derived from the ori…
Fluid Flow Induced Deformation of a Boundary Hair
Jonas P. Smucker, Zerrin M. Vural, José R. Alvarado +1
The deformation of a dense carpet of hair due to Stokes flow in a channel can be described by a nonlinear integro-differential equation for the shape of a single hair, which posses…
