We develop an asymptotic-preserving scheme to solve evolution problems containing stiff transport terms. This scheme is based to a micro-macro decomposition of the unknown, coupled with a stabilization procedure. The numerical method is…
In this work, we propose a new numerical method for the Vlasov-Poisson system that is both asymptotically consistent and stable in the quasineutral regime, i.e. when the Debye length is small compared to the characteristic spatial scale of…
A procedure that allows study of unstable stability of a boundary layer between plasma and a magnetic field has been developed. Layer equilibrium for one reason or another is not set but follows from strict solution of kinetic equation with…

We consider a class of multiscale parabolic problems with diffusion coefficients oscillating in space at a possibly small scale $\varepsilon$. Numerical homogenization methods are popular for such problems, because they capture efficiently…
Context. Magnetized plasmas characterized by shearing flows are present in many natural contexts, such as the Earth's magnetopause and the solar wind. The collisionless nature of involved plasmas requires a kinetic description. When the…
Modeling plasmas in terms of atoms or ions is theoretically appealing for several reasons. When it is relevant, the notion of atom or ion in a plasma provides us with an interpretation scheme of the plasma's microscopic structure. From the…

The time evolution of a two-component collisionless plasma is modeled by the Vlasov-Poisson system. In this work, the setting is two and one-half dimensional, that is, the distribution functions of the particles species are independent of…
We study non oscillating bifurcations of non homogeneous steady states of the Vlasov equation, a situation occurring in galactic models, or for Bernstein-Greene-Kruskal modes in plasma physics. We show that resonances are strongly…
The present paper is devoted to the convergence analysis of a class of asymptotic preserving particle schemes [Filbet \& Rodrigues, SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 54 (2) (2016)] for the Vlasov equation with a strong external magnetic field. In this…

The purpose of the present paper is to provide an overview of Asymptotic-Preserving methods for multiscale plasma simulations by addressing three singular perturbation problems. First, the quasi-neutral limit of fluid and kinetic models is…
We propose an improved version of the PAMPA algorithm where the solution is sought as globally continuous. The scheme is locally conservative, and there is no mass matrix to invert. This method had been developed in a series of papers, see…
