The electron cyclotron drift instability: a comparison of particle-in-cell and continuum Vlasov simulations
Arash Tavassoli, Mina Papahn Zadeh, Andrei Smolyakov +2
The linear and nonlinear characteristics of the electron cyclotron drift instability (ECDI) have been studied through the particle-in-cell (PIC) and continuum Vlasov simulation met…
Backward waves in the nonlinear regime of the Buneman instability
Arash Tavassoli, Magdi Shoucri, Andrei Smolyakov +2
Observation of low- and high-frequency backward waves in the nonlinear regime of the Buneman instability is reported. Intense low-frequency backward waves propagating in the direct…
The role of noise in PIC and Vlasov simulations of the Buneman instability
Arash Tavassoli, Oleksandr Chapurin, Marilyn Jimenez +7
The effects of noise in particle-in-cell (PIC) and Vlasov simulations of the Buneman instability in unmagnetized plasmas are studied. It is found that, in the regime of low drift v…
Nonlinear regimes of the electron cyclotron drift instability in Vlasov simulations
Arash Tavassoli, Andrei Smolyakov, Magdi Shoucri +1
We report on a novel investigation of the nonlinear regime of the electron cyclotron drift instability, using a grid-based Vlasov simulation. It is shown that the instability occur…
