The accurate modeling of plasma-based accelerators relies on costly numerical simulations due to the complexity of laser-plasma and beam-plasma interactions. Several strategies can highly reduce the computational cost compared to 3D…

We introduce a numerical scheme to approximate a quasi-linear hyperbolic system which models the movement of cells under the influence of chemotaxis. Since we expect to find solutions which contain vacuum parts, we propose an upwinding…
