Poisson-Vlasov in a strong magnetic field: A stochastic solution approach

Plasma Physics 2015-05-13 v2 Fluid Dynamics

Abstract

Stochastic solutions are obtained for the Maxwell-Vlasov equation in the approximation where magnetic field fluctuations are neglected and the electrostatic potential is used to compute the electric field. This is a reasonable approximation for plasmas in a strong external magnetic field. Both Fourier and configuration space solutions are constructed.
