Gyrokinetic Fokker-Planck Collision Operator

Gyrokinetic Fokker-Planck collision operator.

The gyrokinetic linearized exact Fokker-Planck collision operator is obtained in a form suitable for plasma gyrokinetic equations, for arbitrary mass ratio. The linearized Fokker-Planck operator includes both the test-particle and field-particle contributions, and automatically conserves particles, momentum, and energy, while ensuring non-negative entropy production. Finite gyroradius effects i...

The Fokker-Planck Operator as an Asymptotic Limit in Anisotropic Media

We derive the Fokker-Planck operator describing a highly forward peaked scattering process in the linear transport equation, in anisotropic media, as a formal asymptotic limit of the exact integral operator. The resulting operator, being both con-vective and diiusive in angle and energy variables, reduces the degenerate nature of the Fokker-Planck system compared to the isotropic media case whe...

Fractional Fokker-Planck equation, solution, and application.

Recently, Metzler et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 3563 (1999)], introduced a fractional Fokker-Planck equation (FFPE) describing a subdiffusive behavior of a particle under the combined influence of external nonlinear force field, and a Boltzmann thermal heat bath. In this paper we present the solution of the FFPE in terms of an integral transformation. The transformation maps the solution of ordi...
