Velocity space origins of pressure-strain interaction in multi-population distributions and its application to magnetic reconnection
M. Hasan Barbhuiya, Paul A. Cassak, Sarah Conley +7
A forefront research question is how energy evolves in weakly collisional plasmas for which departures from local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) are significant. The standard appr…

The Kinetic Analogue of the Pressure-Strain Interaction
Sarah A. Conley, James Juno, Jason M. TenBarge +4
Energy transport in weakly collisional plasma systems is often studied with fluid models and diagnostics. However, the applicability of fluid models is necessarily limited when col…

Characterizing the Velocity-Space Signature of Electron Landau Damping
Sarah A. Conley, Gregory G. Howes, Andrew J. McCubbin
Plasma turbulence plays a critical role in the transport of energy from large-scale magnetic fields and plasma flows to small scales, where the dissipated turbulent energy ultimate…
