Variational Formulations of Exact and Reduced Vlasov-Maxwell Equations
نویسنده
چکیده
The foundations of gyrokinetic theory are reviewed with an emphasis on the applications of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian methods used in the derivation of nonlinear gyrokinetic Vlasov-Maxwell equations. These reduced dynamical equations describe the turbulent evolution of low-frequency electromagnetic fluctuations in nonuniform magnetized plasmas with arbitrary magnetic geometry.

Variational formulations of guiding-center Vlasov-Maxwell theory
The variational formulations of guiding-center Vlasov-Maxwell theory based on Lagrange, Euler, and Euler-Poincaré variational principles are presented. Each variational principle yields a different approach to deriving guiding-center polarization and magnetization effects into the guiding-center Maxwell equations. The conservation laws of energy, momentum, and angular momentum are also derived ...

Exact solution and variational approximation of eigenmodes in high gain FELs are presented. These eigenmodes specifi transverse profiles and exponential growth rates of the laser field before saturation. They are self-consistent-solutions of coupled Maxwell-Vlasov equations describing FEL interaction taking into account the effects due to energy spread, emittance and betatron oscillations of th...

متن کاملNeutral Vlasov kinetic theory of magnetized plasmas
The low-frequency limit of Maxwell equations is considered in the Maxwell-Vlasov system. This limit produces a neutral Vlasov system that captures essential features of plasma dynamics, while neglecting radiation effects. Euler-Poincaré reduction theory is used to show that the neutral Vlasov kinetic theory possesses a variational formulation in both Lagrangian and Eulerian coordinates. By cons...
