In this paper, we apply projective integration methods to hyperbolic moment models of the Boltzmann equation and the BGK equation, and investigate the numerical properties of the resulting scheme. Projective integration is an explicit,…

This article is devoted to the construction of a new class of semi-Lagrangian (SL) schemes with implicit-explicit (IMEX) Runge-Kutta (RK) time stepping for PDEs involving multiple space-time scales. The semi-Lagrangian (SL) approach fully…

An efficient, iterative semi-implicit (SI) numerical method for the time integration of stiff wave systems is presented. Physics-based assumptions are used to derive a convergent iterative formulation of the SI scheme which enables the…

Warm dense matter--an exotic, highly compressed state on the boarder between solid and plasma phases is of high current interest, in particular for compact astrophysical objects, high pressure laboratory systems, and inertial confinement…

A careful study of plasma-material interactions is essential to understand and improve the operation of devices where plasma contacts a wall. Key contributions of this work include (i) novel continuum kinetic algorithms with novel boundary…

In this paper we present a new ultra efficient numerical method for solving kinetic equations. In this preliminary work, we present the scheme in the case of the BGK relaxation operator. The scheme, being based on a splitting technique…

Traditional time discretization methods use a single timestep for the entire system of interest and can perform poorly when the dynamics of the system exhibits a wide range of time scales. Multirate infinitesimal step (MIS) methods (Knoth…

We present an efficient, accurate, and robust method for simulation of dense suspensions of deformable and rigid particles immersed in Stokesian fluid in two dimensions. We use a well-established boundary integral formulation for the…

In this paper, a physics-oriented stochastic kinetic scheme will be developed that includes random inputs from both flow and electromagnetic fields via a hybridization of stochastic Galerkin and collocation methods. Based on the BGK-type…

Thermal flows characterized by high Prandtl number are numerically challenging as the transfer of momentum and heat occurs at different time scales. To account for very low thermal conductivity and obey the Courant-Friedrichs-Lewy…

It is well known that symplectic Runge-Kutta and Partitioned Runge-Kutta methods exactly preserve {\em quadratic} first integrals (invariants of motion) of the system being integrated. While this property is often seen as a mere curiosity…

The plasma edge flow, situated at the intricate boundary between plasma and neutral particles, plays a pivotal role in the design of nuclear fusion devices such as divertors and pumps. Traditional numerical simulation methods, such as the…

For simulating incompressible flows by projection methods. it is generally accepted that the pressure-correction stage is the most time-consuming part of the flow solver. The objective of the present work is to develop a fast hybrid…

The simulation of granular media is usually done either with event-driven codes that treat collisions as instantaneous but have difficulty with very dense packings, or with molecular dynamics methods that approximate rigid grains using a…

This article presents a comparison of various implementations of the Lattice Discrete Particle Model (LDPM) for the numerical simulation of concrete and other heterogeneous quasibrittle materials. The comparison involves the use of…

We develop a novel Monte Carlo strategy for the simulation of the Boltzmann-BGK model with both low-collisional and high-collisional regimes present. The presented solution to maintain accuracy in low-collisional regimes and remove…

We formulate and test a hybrid fluid-Monte Carlo scheme for the treatment of elastic collisions in gases and plasmas. While our primary focus and demonstrations of applicability are for moderately collisional plasmas, as described by the…

This work considers multirate generalized-structure additively partitioned Runge-Kutta (MrGARK) methods for solving stiff systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with multiple time scales. These methods treat different partitions…

Discrete particle simulations are widely used to study large-scale particulate flows in complex geometries where particle-particle and particle-fluid interactions require an adequate representation but the computational cost has to be kept…

High-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets and other advances have led to renewed interest in magnetic mirrors for fusion energy. The non-Maxwellian nature of mirror plasmas necessitates kinetic modeling to predict, optimize and design…
