Tangential deflection and formation of counterstreaming flows at the impact of a plasma jet on a tangential discontinuity
G. Voitcu, M. Echim
In this letter we report three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations of the interaction between a nonpenetrable magnetosheath jet and the magnetopause, for northward interplanet…
Comparative study of forward and backward test-kinetic simulation approaches
Gabriel Voitcu, Marius Echim, Richard Marchand
In this paper we perform a comparative study of the forward and backward Liouville mapping applied to the modeling of ring-shaped and non-gyrotropic velocity distribution functions…
Ring-shaped velocity distribution functions in energy-dispersed structures formed at the boundaries of a proton stream injected into a transverse magnetic field: Test-kinetic results
Gabriel Voitcu, Marius Echim
In this paper, we discuss the formation of ring-shaped and gyro-phase restricted velocity distribution functions (VDFs) at the edges of a cloud of protons injected into non-uniform…
Transport and entry of plasma clouds/jets across transverse magnetic discontinuities: Three-dimensional electromagnetic particle-in-cell simulations
Gabriel Voitcu, Marius Echim
In this paper we use three-dimensional electromagnetic particle-in-cell simulations to investigate the interaction of a small-Larmor radius plasma cloud/jet with a transverse non-u…
Collisionless transport equations derived from a kinetic exospheric solar wind model with kappa velocity distribution functions
Gabriel Voitcu, Viviane Pierrard, Herve Lamy +2
In this paper we discuss the collisionless transport equations, continuity, momentum and energy conservation, derived from a kinetic exospheric model of the solar wind based on a k…
