Conservative projection-based data-driven model order reduction of a fluid-kinetic spectral solver

Opal Issan, Oleksandr Koshkarov, Federico D. Halpern +2

Kinetic simulations are computationally intensive due to six-dimensional phase space discretization. Many kinetic spectral solvers use the asymmetrically weighted Hermite expansion…

Effects of Artificial Collisions, Filtering, and Nonlocal Closure Approaches on Hermite-based Vlasov-Poisson Simulations

Opal Issan, Oleksandr Chapurin, Oleksandr Koshkarov +1

Kinetic simulations of collisionless plasmas are computationally challenging due to phase space mixing and filamentation, resulting in fine-scale velocity structures. This study co…

Conservative Closures of the Vlasov-Poisson Equations Based on Symmetrically Weighted Hermite Spectral Expansion

Opal Issan, Oleksandr Koshkarov, Federico D. Halpern +2

We derive conservative closures of the Vlasov-Poisson equations discretized in velocity via the symmetrically weighted Hermite spectral expansion. The short note analyzes the conse…

Anti-symmetric and Positivity Preserving Formulation of a Spectral Method for Vlasov-Poisson Equations

Opal Issan, Oleksandr Koshkarov, Federico D. Halpern +2

We analyze the anti-symmetric properties of a spectral discretization for the one-dimensional Vlasov-Poisson equations. The discretization is based on a spectral expansion in veloc…

Scale Separation Effects on Simulations of Plasma Turbulence

Jago Edyvean, Tulasi N. Parashar, Tom Simpson +7

Understanding plasma turbulence requires a synthesis of experiments, observations, theory, and simulations. In the case of kinetic plasmas such as the solar wind, the lack of colli…
