Viriato: a Fourier-Hermite spectral code for strongly magnetised fluid-kinetic plasma dynamics
N. F. Loureiro, W. Dorland, L. Fazendeiro +4
We report on the algorithms and numerical methods used in Viriato, a novel fluid-kinetic code that solves two distinct sets of equations: (i) the Kinetic Reduced Electron Heating M…
