Kinetic Entropy-Based Measures of Distribution Function Non-Maxwellianity: Theory and Simulations
Haoming Liang, M. Hasan Barbhuiya, P. A. Cassak +4
We investigate kinetic entropy-based measures of the non-Maxwellianity of distribution functions in plasmas, i.e., entropy-based measures of the departure of a local distribution f…
