Large-Scale Parallel Electric Fields and Return Currents in a Global Simulation Model
Harry Arnold, James Drake, Marc Swisdak +1
A new computational model, kglobal, is being developed to explore energetic electron production via magnetic reconnection in macroscale systems. The model is based on the discovery…
Particle Heating and Energy Partition in Low- Guide Field Reconnection with Kinetic Riemann Simulations
Qile Zhang, J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak
Kinetic Riemann simulations have been completed to explore particle heating during guide field reconnection in the low- environment of the inner heliosphere and the solar corona…
Decomposition of Plasma Kinetic Entropy into Position and Velocity Space and the Use of Kinetic Entropy in Particle-in-Cell Simulations
Haoming Liang, Paul A. Cassak, Sergio Servidio +9
We describe a systematic development of kinetic entropy as a diagnostic in fully kinetic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations and use it to interpret plasma physics processes in heli…
