The Fluid-Kinetic Particle-in-Cell Solver for Plasma Simulations
Stefano Markidis, Pierre Henri, Giovanni Lapenta +4
A new method that solves concurrently the multi-fluid and Maxwell's equations has been developed for plasma simulations. By calculating the stress tensor in the multi-fluid momentu…
Kinetic Simulations of Plasmoid Chain Dynamics
Stefano Markidis, Pierre Henri, Giovanni Lapenta +4
The dynamics of a plasmoid chain is studied with three dimensional Particle-in-Cell simulations. The evolution of the system with and without a uniform guide field, whose strength…
Vlasov-Poisson simulations of electrostatic parametric instability for localized Langmuir wave packets in the solar wind
Pierre Henri, Francesco Califano, Carine Briand +1
Recent observation of large amplitude Langmuir waveforms during a Type III event in the solar wind have been interpreted as the signature of the electrostatic decay of beam-driven…
Low energy Langmuir cavitons: asymptotic limit of weak turbulence
P. Henri, F. Califano, C. Briand +1
Langmuir turbulence is an archetype of wave turbulence in plasma physics. By means of 1D-1V Vlasov-Poisson simulations, we show that coherent structures, called Langmuir cavitons,…
Vlasov simulations of Langmuir Electrostatic Decay and consequences for Type III observations
P. Henri, F. Califano, C. Briand +1
The electrostatic decay enables energy transfer from a finite amplitude Langmuir to a backscattered daughter Langmuir wave and ion acoustic density fluctuations. This mechanism is…
