Explicit high-order non-canonical symplectic particle-in-cell algorithms for classical particle-field systems governed by the Vlasov-Maxwell equations are developed. The algorithm conserves a discrete non-canonical symplectic structure…
We address the existence of stationary solutions of the Vlasov-Poisson system on a domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^3$ describing a high-temperature plasma which due to the influence of an external magnetic field is spatially confined to a…
We adapt the well known "displace, cut and reflect" method to construct exact solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations corresponding to infinitesimally thin disks of matter endowed with dipole magnetic fields, which are entirely…
A discontinuous Galerkin method for approximating the Vlasov-Poisson system of equations describing the time evolution of a collisionless plasma is proposed. The method is mass conservative and, in the case that piecewise constant functions…
This paper formulates a new particle-in-cell method for the Vlasov-Maxwell system. Under the Lorenz gauge condition, Maxwell's equations for the electromagnetic fields can be written as a collection of scalar and vector wave equations. The…
The aim of this work is to introduce a numerical method to cope with the multiscale nature of confined plasma physics. These investigations are focused on fluid plasma description under large magnetic field. The difficulties in this context…
In this work, we provide an overview of various control strategies aimed at steering plasma toward desired configurations using an external magnetic field. From a modeling perspective, we focus on the Vlasov equation in a two-dimensional…
Plasma instabilities are a major concern in plasma science, for applications ranging from particle accelerators to nuclear fusion reactors. In this work, we consider the possibility of controlling such instabilities by adding an external…
Following Fr\'enod and Sonnendr\"ucker, we consider the finite Larmor radius regime for a plasma submitted to a large magnetic field and take into account both the quasineutrality and the local thermodynamic equilibrium of the electrons. We…
We consider the relativistic Vlasov--Maxwell (RVM) equations in the limit when the light velocity $c$ goes to infinity. In this regime, the RVM system converges towards the Vlasov--Poisson system and the aim of this paper is to construct…
Energy conserving particle-in-cell schemes are constructed for a class of reduced relativistic Vlasov--Maxwell equations of laser-plasma interaction. Discrete Poisson equation is also satisfied by the numerical solution. Specifically,…
This work is devoted to the numerical simulation of a Vlasov-Poisson model describing a charged particle beam under the action of a rapidly oscillating external electric field. We construct an Asymptotic Preserving numerical scheme for this…
A finite Larmor radius approximation is derived from the classical Vlasov equation, in the limit of large (and uniform) external magnetic field. We also provide an heuristic derivation of the electroneutrality equation in the finite Larmor…
In the paper "Optimal control of a Vlasov-Poisson plasma by an external magnetic field - The basics for variational calculus" [arXiv:1708.02464] we have already introduced a set of admissible magnetic fields and we have proved that each of…
Time-centered, hence second-order, methods for integrating the relativistic momentum of charged particles in an electromagnetic field are derived. A new method is found by averaging the momentum before use in the magnetic rotation term, and…
In this paper, we introduce a new family of spatially co-located field solvers for particle-in-cell applications which evolve the potential formulation of Maxwell's equations under the Lorenz gauge. Our recent work introduced the concept of…
Stabilizing plasma dynamics through externally applied electric and magnetic fields is a fundamental control problem. We study this question for a plasma evolving under a uniform external magnetic field. Although the governing dynamics are…
In this paper, we establish the stability of the quasineutral limit for the ionic Vlasov-Poisson system under perturbations exponentially small in Wasserstein sense. Notably, we emphasize that exponential smallness is a necessary condition…
When the ion mean free path much exceeds the Larmor radius in a plasma, the viscous stress tensor is altered dramatically, and depends only upon quantities measured along the field lines. This regime corresponds to typical interstellar…
We introduce a (linear) positive and asymptotic preserving method or solving the one-group radiation transport equation. The approximation in space is discretization agnostic: the space approximation can be done with continuous or…
