Classical Finite Volume methods for multi-dimensional problems include stabilization (e.g.\ via a Riemann solver), that is derived by considering several one-dimensional problems in different directions. Such methods therefore ignore a…
We consider a distributed Lagrange multiplier formulation for fluid-structure interaction problems in the spirit of the fictitious domain approach. This is an unfitted method, which does not require the construction of meshes conforming to…
Collisional and radiative dynamics of a plasma is exposed by so-called Collisional Radiative Models [1] that simplify the chemical kinetics by quasi-steady state assignment on certain types of particles. The assignment is conventionally…

When addressing the thermodynamics of finite-sized systems, one must specify whether one wants to fix conserved charges to a sharp value or whether one is content to fix their thermodynamic average. In other words, contrary to the…
The paper discusses the problem of stability of a two-component plasma and proposes a consistent consideration of quantum and long-range effects to calculate the thermodynamic properties of such a plasma. We restrict ourselves by the case…
The most fundamental response of a solid to a plasma and vice versa is electric. An electric double layer forms with a solid-bound electron-rich region-the wall charge-and a plasma-bound electron-depleted region-the plasma sheath. But it is…
We consider the numerical approximations of the Cahn-Hilliard equation with dynamic boundary conditions (C. Liu et. al., Arch. Rational Mech. Anal., 2019). We propose a first-order in time, linear and energy stable numerical scheme, which…

We consider linear stability of steady states of 1(1/2) and 3D Vlasov-Maxwell systems for collisionless plasmas. The linearized systems can be written as separable Hamiltonian systems with constraints. By using a general theory for…
A variational method is used to derive a self-consistent macro-particle model for relativistic electromagnetic kinetic plasma simulations. Extending earlier work [E. G. Evstatiev and B. A. Shadwick, J. Comput. Phys., vol. 245, pp. 376-398,…
A 2D nonlinear model for the electrical potential in the edge plasma in a tokamak generates a stiff problem due to the low resistivity in the direction parallel to the magnetic field lines. An asymptotic-preserving method based on a…
One-dimensional steady-state plasma-field structures in overdense plasma are studied assuming that the electron temperature is uniform over plasma bulk and the ions are stationary. It is shown that there may exist solutions for electron…
