The one-dimensional Vlasov-Poisson system is considered and a particle method is developed to approximate solutions without compact support which tend to a fixed background of charge as $| x | \to \infty$. Such a system of equations can be…
High-resolution simulations of particle-based kinetic plasma models typically require a high number of particles and thus often become computationally intractable. This is exacerbated in multi-query simulations, where the problem depends on…
The motion of a collisionless plasma - a high-temperature, low-density, ionized gas - is described by the Vlasov-Maxwell system. In the presence of large velocities, relativistic corrections are meaningful, and when symmetry of the particle…
We propose a novel and simple spectral method based on the semi-discrete Fourier transforms to discretize the fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^\frac{\alpha}{2}$. Numerical analysis and experiments are provided to study its performance. Our…
The Eulerian variational principle for the Vlasov-Poisson-Amp\`{e}re system of equations in a general coordinate system is presented. The invariance of the action integral under an arbitrary spatial coordinate transformation is used to…
We propose a numerical method for kinetic plasma simulation in which the phase-space distribution function is represented by a low-rank tensor network with an adaptive level of compression. The Vlasov-Poisson system is advanced using Strang…
This work presents the discontinuous Galerkin discretization of the consistent splitting scheme proposed by Liu [J. Liu, J. Comp. Phys., 228(19), 2009]. The method enforces the divergence-free constraint implicitly, removing…
In order to perform physically faithful particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations, the Gauss's law stands as a critical requirement, since its violation often leads to catastrophic errors in long-term plasma simulations. This work proposes a novel…
We prove that the unique entropy solution to a scalar nonlinear conservation law with strictly monotone velocity and nonnegative initial condition can be rigorously obtained as the large particle limit of a microscopic follow-the-leader…
We provide a quantitative asymptotic analysis for the nonlinear Vlasov--Poisson--Fokker--Planck system with a large linear friction force and high force-fields. The limiting system is a diffusive model with nonlocal velocity fields often…
We present an explicit temporal discretization of particle-in-cell schemes for the Vlasov equation that results in exact energy conservation when combined with an appropriate spatial discretization. The scheme is inspired by a simple,…
The Vlasov-Poisson system, modeling the evolution of non-collisional plasmas in the electrostatic limit, is approx- imated by a Semi-Lagrangian technique. Spectral methods of periodic type are implemented through a collocation approach.…
In this paper, we study the Vlasov-Poisson system with massless electrons (VPME) near quasineutrality and with uncertainties. Based on the idea of reformulation on the Poisson equation by [P. Degond et.al., $\textit{Journal of Computational…
In this work, we aim at constructing numerical schemes, that are as efficient as possible in terms of cost and conservation of invariants, for the Vlasov--Fokker--Planck system coupled with Poisson or Amp\`ere equation. Splitting methods…
A numerical dynamical low-rank approximation (DLRA) scheme for the solution of the Vlasov-Poisson equation is presented. Based on the formulation of the DLRA equations as Friedrichs' systems in a continuous setting, it combines recently…
In this article, we design Asymptotic-Preserving Particle-In-Cell methods for the Vlasov-Maxwell system in the quasi-neutral limit, this limit being characterized by a Debye length negligible compared to the space scale of the problem.…
In this paper, Particle-in-Cell algorithms for the Vlasov-Poisson system are presented based on its Poisson bracket structure. The Poisson equation is solved by finite element methods, in which the appropriate finite element spaces are…
Many phenomena in collisionless plasma physics require a kinetic description. The evolution of the phase space density can be modeled by means of the Vlasov equation, which has to be solved numerically in most of the relevant cases. One of…
This work considers charged systems described by the modified Poisson--Nernst--Planck (PNP) equations, which incorporate ionic steric effects and the Born solvation energy for dielectric inhomogeneity. Solving the steady-state modified PNP…
The Vlasov equation is a kinetic model describing the evolution of charged particles, and is coupled with Poisson's equation, which rules the evolution of the self-consistent electric field. In this paper, we introduce a new class of…
