Generalized Fluid Models of the Braginskii Type
P. Hunana, T. Passot, E. Khomenko +7
Several generalizations of the well-known fluid model of Braginskii (Rev. of Plasma Phys., 1965) are considered. We use the Landau collisional operator and the moment method of Gra…
Major Scientific Challenges and Opportunities in Understanding Magnetic Reconnection and Related Explosive Phenomena throughout the Universe
H. Ji, A. Alt, S. Antiochos +97
This white paper summarizes major scientific challenges and opportunities in understanding magnetic reconnection and related explosive phenomena as a fundamental plasma process.
Challenges and the next transformative steps in understanding plasma turbulence from the perspective of multi-spacecraft measurements
Li-Jen Chen, Naoki Bessho, Jay A. Bookbinder +18
We have become heavily reliant on electrical technologies, from power grids to GPS to wireless communication. Any disruption of these systems will have severe global consequences.…
An introductory guide to fluid models with anisotropic temperatures Part 2 -- Kinetic theory, Padé approximants and Landau fluid closures
P. Hunana, A. Tenerani, G. P. Zank +7
In Part 2 of our guide to collisionless fluid models, we concentrate on Landau fluid closures. These closures were pioneered by Hammett and Perkins and allow for the rigorous incor…
An introductory guide to fluid models with anisotropic temperatures Part 1 -- CGL description and collisionless fluid hierarchy
P. Hunana, A. Tenerani, G. P. Zank +7
We present a detailed guide to advanced collisionless fluid models that incorporate kinetic effects into the fluid framework, and that are much closer to the collisionless kinetic…
New closures for more precise modeling of Landau damping in the fluid framework
P. Hunana, G. P. Zank, M. Laurenza +5
Incorporation of kinetic effects such as Landau damping into a fluid framework was pioneered by Hammett and Perkins PRL 1990, by obtaining closures of the fluid hierarchy, where th…
