Chaos vs linear instability in the Vlasov equation: A fractal analysis characterization.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work we discuss the most recent results concerning the Vlasov dynamics inside the spinodal region. The chaotic behaviour which follows an initial regular evolution is characterized through the calculation of the fractal dimension of the distribution of the final modes excited. The ambiguous role of the largest Lyapunov exponent for unstable systems is also critically

In the framework of the time-dependent mean field theory, we solve the Vlasov-Nordheim equation and study the sensitive dependence of this highly non-linear equation on the initial conditions. We find that, when nuclear matter is inside the spinodal region, initially small differences between similar trajectories grow exponentially and produce strongly divergent paths resulting in a chaotic evo...
متن کاملUsing MODIS data for nonlinear hazard analysis of the Middle East aerosols
Aerosols are among the most important of atmospheric pollutants observed like the microscopic particulate matter in the lower parts of the troposphere. The main purpose of this study is introducing a new method based on satellite images processing results and nonlinear analysis (fractal based) to investigate the origin and dynamical mechanism of aerosols distribution in North Africa and the Mid...
متن کاملDevelopment of a 2 D Vlasov Solver for Longitudinal Beam Dynamics in Single - Pass Systems ∗
Direct numerical methods for solving the Vlasov equation offer some advantages over macroparticle simulations, as they do not suffer from the numerical noise inherent in using a number of macroparticles smaller than the bunch population. Unfortunately these methods are more time-consuming and generally considered impractical in a full 6D phase space. However, in a lower-dimension phase space th...
متن کاملHyperbolic Approximation of the Fourier Transformed Vlasov Equation
We construct an hyperbolic approximation of the Vlasov equation in which the dependency on the velocity variable is removed. The model is constructed from the Vlasov equation after a Fourier transformation in the velocity variable [9]. A well-chosen nite element semi-discretization in the spectral variable leads to an hyperbolic system.The resulting model enjoys interesting conservation and sta...
متن کاملPositivity preserving semi-Lagrangian discontinuous Galerkin formulation: Theoretical analysis and application to the Vlasov-Poisson system
Semi-Lagrangian (SL) methods have been very popular in the Vlasov simulation community [28, 2, 3, 18, 31, 4, 23, 25]. In this paper, we propose a new Strang split SL discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for solving the Vlasov equation. Specifically, we apply the Strang splitting for the Vlasov equation [5], as a way to decouple the nonlinear Vlasov system into a sequence of linear equations. To e...
