Gyrokinetic linearized Landau collision operator.
The full gyrokinetic electrostatic linearized Landau collision operator is calculated including the equilibrium operator, which represents the effect of collisions between gyrokinetic Maxwellian particles. First, the equilibrium operator describes energy exchange between different plasma species, which is important in multiple ion-species plasmas. Second, the equilibrium operator describes drag...
متن کاملQuantitative linearized study of the Boltzmann collision operator and applications
We present recent results [4, 28, 29] about the quantitative study of the linearized Boltzmann collision operator, and its application to the study of the trend to equilibrium for the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation for hard spheres.
متن کاملUnderstanding the accuracy of Nanbu's numerical Coulomb collision operator
We investigate the accuracy of and assumptions underlying the numerical binary Monte Carlo collision operator due to Nanbu [K. Nanbu, Phys. Rev. E 55 (1997) 4642]. The numerical experiments that resulted in the parameterization of the collision kernel used in Nanbu’s operator are argued to be an approximate realization of the Coulomb–Lorentz pitchangle scattering process, for which an analytica...

For a mult i component and multi-temperature gas-mixture the matrix elements o f the linearized Bol tzmann collision operator are investigated for isotropic interaction potentials. The representation b y means o f Burnett basis functions simplifies the algebraic structure and enables closed expressions for the general results, which can also be used for an investigation o f inelastic collisions...
متن کاملFast elliptic solvers in cylindrical coordinates and the Coulomb collision operator
In this paper, we describe a new class of fast solvers for separable elliptic partial differential equations in cylindrical coordinates (r, θ, z) with free-space radiation conditions. By combining integral equation methods in the radial variable r with Fourier methods in θ and z, we show that high-order accuracy can be achieved in both the governing potential and its derivatives. A weak singula...
