The Vlasov--Maxwell equations are used for the kinetic description of magnetized plasmas. As they are posed in an up to 3+3 dimensional phase space, solving this problem is extremely expensive from a computational point of view. In this…

In this paper, we propose the parametrized maximum principle preserving (MPP) flux limiter, originally developed in [Z. Xu, Math. Comp., (2013), in press], to the semi- Lagrangian finite difference weighted essentially non-oscillatory…

We develop a new Monte Carlo method that solves hyperbolic transport equations with stiff terms, characterized by a (small) scaling parameter. In particular, we focus on systems which lead to a reduced problem of parabolic type in the limit…

We propose and study a fully discrete finite volume scheme for the Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation written as an hyperbolic system using Hermite polynomials in velocity. This approach naturally preserves the stationary solution and the…

A method to derive stationary solutions of the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system is explored. In the non-relativistic case, a method using the Hermite polynomial series to describe the deviation from the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution is…

This paper is concerned with the asymptotic properties of the small data solutions to the massless Vlasov-Maxwell system in $3d$. We use vector field methods to derive almost optimal decay estimates in null directions for the…

We investigate the late-time asymptotic behavior of solutions to nonlinear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws containing stiff relaxation terms. First, we introduce a Chapman-Enskog-type asymptotic expansion and derive an effective…

This paper is concerned with the numerical approximation of the isothermal Euler equations for charged particles subject to the Lorentz force. When the magnetic field is large, the so-called drift-fluid approximation is obtained. In this…

In this paper we study the Hamiltonian dynamics of charged particles subject to a non-self-consistent stochastic electric field, when the plasma is in the so-called weak turbulent regime. We show that the asymptotic limit of the Vlasov…

We construct high order symmetric volume-preserving methods for the relativistic dynamics of a charged particle by the splitting technique with processing. Via expanding the phase space to include time $t$, we give a more general…

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…

In this paper we provide sharp criteria for linear stability or instability of equilibria of collisionless plasmas in the presence of boundaries. Specifically, we consider the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system with specular reflection at…

We consider a parameter dependent family of damped hyperbolic equations with interesting limit behavior: the system approaches steady states exponentially fast and for parameter to zero the solutions converge to that of a parabolic limit…

The main purpose of the present paper is to study from a numerical analysis point of view some robust methods designed to cope with stiff (highly anisotropic) elliptic problems. The so-called asymptotic-preserving schemes studied in this…

The paper focuses on the development of numerical methods for the compressible Euler equations. It is well-known that if the Mach number is small, the system becomes stiff and hence explicit schemes suffer from severe time-step…

We propose and analyze a new asymptotic preserving (AP) finite volume scheme for the multidimensional compressible barotropic Euler equations to simulate low Mach number flows. The proposed scheme uses a stabilized upwind numerical flux,…

Euler--Maxwell systems describe the dynamics of inviscid plasmas. In this work, we consider an incompressible two-dimensional version of such systems and prove the existence and uniqueness of global weak solutions, uniformly with respect to…

Kinetic equations model distributions of particles in position-velocity phase space. Often, one is interested in studying the long-time behavior of particles in high-collisional regimes in which an approximate (advection)-diffusion model…

The Radiative Vlasov-Maxwell equations model the radiative kinetics of collisionless relativistic plasma. In them the Lorentz force is modified by the addition of radiation reaction forces. The radiation forces produce damping of particle…

Kinetic equations are difficult to solve numerically due to their high dimensionality. A promising approach for reducing computational cost is the dynamical low-rank algorithm, which decouples the dimensions of the phase space by proposing…
