Due to ion-electron collisions, it is impossible to derive any two-fluid model for plasma as a direct hydrodynamic limit of the Vlasov-Poisson-Landau system for ions and electrons. At the same time, electrons are much lighter than their ion…
In this paper, we consider the linearized Vlasov-Poisson equation around an homogeneous Maxwellian equilibrium in a weakly collisional regime: there is a parameter $\eps$ in front of the collision operator which will tend to $0$. Moreover,…
In this paper, we study the quasineutral limit (in other words the limit when the Debye length tends to zero) of Vlasov-Poisson like equations describing the behaviour of ions in a plasma. We consider massless electrons, with a charge…
In this article, we consider Vlasov-type equations describing the evolution of single-species type plasmas, such as those composed of electrons (Vlasov-Poisson) or ions (screened Vlasov-Poisson/Vlasov-Poisson with massless electrons). We…
The evolution of an initial perturbation in Vlasov plasma is studied in the intrinsically nonlinear long-time limit dominated by the effects of particle trapping. After the possible transient linear exponential Landau damping, the evolution…
