Numerical thermalization in -D particle-in-cell simulations
R. M. Park, C. H. Moore, S. D. Baalrud
The particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation method is often understood to solve the collisionless Vlasov equation due to the finite shape of its macroparticles. In reality, it can suffer…
Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Hydrodynamic Transport Coefficients in Plasmas
Briggs Damman, Jarett LeVan, Scott Baalrud
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are used to calculate transport coefficients in a two-component plasma interacting through a repulsive Coulomb potential. The thermal conductivi…
Plasma hydrodynamics from mean force kinetic theory
Jarett LeVan, Scott D. Baalrud
Mean force kinetic theory is used to evaluate the electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, electrothermal coefficient, thermoelectric coefficient, and shear viscosity of a tw…
Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Temperature Relaxation in Non-Neutral Plasmas Relevant to Antimatter Experiments
James C. Welch, Louis Jose, Timothy D. Tharp +1
An important process for antimatter experiments is the cooling of particles in a Penning-Malmberg trap to experimentally useful temperatures. A non-neutral plasma of one species (e…
Foundations of magnetohydrodynamics
Jarett LeVan, Scott Baalrud
In this tutorial, a derivation of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) valid beyond the usual ideal gas approximation is presented. Non-equilibrium thermodynamics is used to obtain conservat…
Reply to Comment on "Kinetic Theory of the Presheath and the Bohm Criterion"
S D Baalrud, C C Hegna
In his comment, Riemann defends the conventional kinetic Bohm criterion on the basis that the underlying approximations become rigorous in the limit λ_D/l \rightarrow 0, where λ_D…
