Local Energy Conservation Law for Spatially-Discretized Hamiltonian Vlasov-Maxwell System

Jianyuan Xiao, Hong Qin, Jian Liu +1

Structure-preserving geometric algorithm for the Vlasov-Maxwell (VM) equations is currently an active research topic. We show that spatially-discretized Hamiltonian systems for the…

Explicit high-order noncanonical symplectic algorithms for ideal two-fluid systems

Jianyuan Xiao, Hong Qin, Philip J. Morrison +4

An explicit high-order noncanonical symplectic algorithm for ideal two-fluid systems is developed. The fluid is discretized as particles in the Lagrangian description, while the el…

On the structure of the two-stream instability -- complex G-Hamiltonian structure and Krein collisions between positive- and negative-action modes

Ruili Zhang, Hong Qin, Ronald C. Davidson +2

The two-stream instability is probably the most important elementary example of collective instabilities in plasma physics and beam-plasma systems. For a warm plasma with two charg…

Explicit symplectic algorithms based on generating functions for charged particle dynamics

Ruili Zhang, Hong Qin, Yifa Tang +3

Dynamics of a charged particle in the canonical coordinates is a Hamiltonian system, and the well-known symplectic algorithm has been regarded as the de facto method for numerical…
