Computing tasks are ubiquitous in space missions. Conventionally, these tasks are offloaded to ground servers for computation, where the transmission of raw data on satellite-to-ground links severely constrains the performance. To overcome…
The precipitation of charged particles from the magnetosphere into the ionosphere is one of the crucial coupling mechanisms between these two regions of geospace and is associated with multiple space weather effects, such as global…
Electrochemical devices often consist of multicomponent electrolyte solutions. Two processes influence the overall dynamics of these devices: the formation of electrical double layers and chemical conversion due to redox reactions. However,…
We study, globaly in time, the velocity distribution $f(v,t)$ of a spatially homogeneous system that models a system of electrons in a weakly ionized plasma, subjected to a constant external electric field $E$. The density $f$ satisfies a…
The motion of ionic solutes and charged particles under the influence of an electric field and the ensuing hydrodynamic flow of the underlying solvent is ubiquitous in aqueous colloidal suspensions. The physics of such systems is described…
Space debris has become a critical issue, with debris in orbit surpassing active satellites, posing significant risks to space sustainability. Payloads or rocket bodies discarded post-mission in LEO without orbital control are major…
Collision avoidance is a topic of growing importance for any satellite orbiting Earth. Especially those satellites without thrusting capabilities face the problem of not being able to perform impulsive collision avoidance manoeuvres. For…
The emission of $\gamma$-rays in jets emanating from the vicinity of collapsed stellar remnants, in binary systems known as microquasars, is investigated using a three dimensional relativistic hydrocode (PLUTO), in combination with two…
Validity of fluid models breaks down for non-thermal or weakly collisional plasmas which often occur e.g. in the solar wind. In these regimes one has to resort to modelling through the first-principle Vlasov-Maxwell system, but its…
A new empirical, analytical model of cold plasma (< 10 keV) in the Jovian inner magnetosphere is constructed. Plasmas in this energy range impact surface charging. A new feature of this model is predicting each plasma parameter for a…
Surface charging is a phenomenon ubiquitously observable in in-situ transmission electron microscopy of non-conducting specimens as a result of electron beam/sample interactions or optical stimuli and often limits the achievable image…
As the number of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites rapidly increases, the consideration of frequency sharing or cooperation between geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO) and LEO satellites is gaining attention. In this paper, we consider a hybrid…
Particle-mesh methods, such as the particle-in-cell (PIC) method, cannot retain exact pairwise interaction at sub-cell scales. For dense nonneutral relativistic electron bunches, this makes it difficult to accurately capture the…
The gyro-resonant cosmic-ray (CR) streaming instability is believed to play a crucial role in CR transport, leading to growth of Alfv\'en waves at small scales that scatter CRs, and impacts the interaction of CRs with the ISM on large…
