Long-time discrete particle effects versus kinetic theory in the self-consistent single-wave model

Self-Consistent hot spot tracing particles by kinetic simulations: With the emphasis on Cusp particle entry

One of the most important advantages of particle simulation as compared to fluid simulation is the capacity for working with and tracing particles. In particle simulations, the test particle method is usually used to get some idea of the behavior of plasma or other substances. In this method, first, a small number of particles are injected into the frame of static electromagnetic fields. Then, ...

Kinetic limit of N-body description of wave-particle self-consistent interaction

A system of N particles ξ = (x1, v1, ..., xN , vN ) interacting selfconsistently with M waves Zn = An exp(iφn) is considered. Given initial data (Z (0), ξ (0)), it evolves according to hamiltonian dynamics to (Z (t), ξ (t)). In the limit N →∞, this generates a Vlasov-like kinetic equation for the distribution function f(x, v, t), abbreviated as f(t), coupled to envelope equations for the Zn: in...

Self-consistent wave-particle interactions in dispersive scale long-period field-line-resonances

[1] Using 1D Vlasov drift-kinetic computer simulations, it is shown that electron trapping in long period standing shear Alfvén waves (SAWs) provides an efficient energy sink for wave energy that is much more effective than Landau damping. It is also suggested that the plasma environment of low altitude auroral-zone geomagnetic field lines is more suited to electron acceleration by inertial or ...
