Prediction of temperature barriers in weakly collisional plasmas by a Lagrangian Coherent Structures computational tool
Giovanni Di Giannatale, Daniele Bonfiglio, Susanna Cappello +2
Analysis of Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCSs) has been showed to be a valid mathematical approach to explain the formation of transport barriers in magnetized plasmas. Such LCS…
Finite spatial-grid effects in energy-conserving particle-in-cell algorithms
D. C. Barnes, L. Chacon
Finite-grid (or aliasing) instabilities are pervasive in particle-in-cell (PIC) plasma simulation algorithms, and force the modeler to resolve the smallest (Debye) length scale in…
A conservative phase-space moving-grid strategy for a 1D-2V Vlasov-Fokker-Planck Equation
William Tsubasa Taitano, Luis Chacon, Andrei Simakov +1
We develop a conservative phase-space grid-adaptivity strategy for the Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation in a planar geometry. The velocity-space grid is normalized to the thermal spee…
A fully implicit, conservative, non-linear, electromagnetic hybrid particle-ion/fluid-electron algorithm
A. Stanier, L. Chacón, G. Chen
The quasi-neutral hybrid model with kinetic ions and fluid electrons is a promising approach for bridging the inherent multi-scale nature of many problems in space and laboratory p…
Deciphering the Kinetic Structure of Multi-Ion Plasma Shocks
Brett D. Keenan, Andrei N. Simakov, Luis Chacon +1
Strong collisional shocks in multi-ion plasmas are featured in many high-energy-density environments, including Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) implosions. However, their basic s…
Fluid vs. kinetic magnetic reconnection with strong guide-fields
A. Stanier, Andrei N. Simakov, L. Chacon +1
The fast rates of magnetic reconnection found in both nature and experiments are important to understand theoretically. Recently, it was demonstrated that two-fluid magnetic reconn…
