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…
During the last decade it has become evident that the magnetorotational instability is at the heart of the enhanced angular momentum transport in weakly magnetized accretion disks around neutron stars and black holes. In this paper, we…
We describe a new model for the study of weakly-collisional, magnetized plasmas derived from exploiting the separation of the dynamics parallel and perpendicular to the magnetic field. This unique system of equations retains the particle…
Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulation is the most important numerical tool in plasma physics. However, its long-term accuracy has not been established. To overcome this difficulty, we developed a canonical symplectic PIC method for the…
Mounting evidence from both seismology and experiments on core composition suggests the existence of a layer of stably stratified fluid at the top of Earth's outer core. In this work we examine the structure of the geomagnetic field within…
We develop an asymptotic-preserving scheme to solve evolution problems containing stiff transport terms. This scheme is based to a micro-macro decomposition of the unknown, coupled with a stabilization procedure. The numerical method is…
We derive the differential equation governing the asymptotic quasi-stationary states of the two dimensional plasma immersed in a strong confining magnetic field and of the planetary atmosphere. These two systems are related by the property…
We investigate the properties of natural two-dimensional (2D) magnetoplasma modes in laterally confined electron systems, such as 2D materials, quantum wells, or inversion layers in semiconductors, with an elliptic Fermi surface. The…
The energy production through thermo-nuclear fusion requires the confinement of the plasma into a bounded domain. In most of the cases, such configurations are obtained by using strong magnetic fields. Several models exist for describing…
The linear stability of chains of magnetic vortices in a plasma is investigated analytically in two dimensions by means of a reduced fluid model assuming a strong guide field and accounting for equilibrium electron temperature anisotropy.…
In this paper, we address the theoretical resolution of the Vlasov-Gauss system from the linear regime to the strongly nonlinear one, when significant trapping has occurred. The electric field is that of a sinusoidal electron plasma wave…
In plasma simulations, where the speed of light divided by a characteristic length is at a much higher frequency than other relevant parameters in the underlying system, such as the plasma frequency, implicit methods begin to play an…
The linearized Vlasov equation for a plasma system in a uniform magnetic field and the corresponding linear Vlasov operator are studied. The spectrum and the corresponding eigenfunctions of the Vlasov operator are found. The spectrum of…
This article is devoted to the Relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system in space dimension three. We prove the local smooth solvability for weak topologies (and its long time version for small data). This result is derived from a representation…
We revise the structure-preserving finite element method in [K. Hu, Y. MA and J. Xu. (2017) Stable finite element methods preserving $\nabla \cdot \mathbf{B}=0$ exactly for MHD models. Numer. Math.,135, 371-396]. The revised method is…
We propose and implement a third-order accurate numerical scheme for the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation, which describes magnetization dynamics in ferromagnetic materials under large damping parameters. This method offers two key…
By choosing appropriate deformed Maxwellian ion and electron distribution functions depending on the two particle constants of motion, i.e. the energy and toroidal angular momentum, we reduce the Vlasov axisymmetric equilibrium problem for…
The aim of various technical applications (for example fusion research) is to control a plasma by magnetic fields in a desired fashion. In our model the plasma is described by the Vlasov-Poisson system that is equipped with an external…
We examine the phenomenon of Landau Damping in relativistic plasmas via a study of the relativistic Vlasov-Poisson system (both on the torus and on $\mathbb{R}^3$) linearized around a sufficiently nice, spatially uniform kinetic…
Goal of this paper is to investigate several numerical schemes for the resolution of two anisotropic Vlasov equations. These two toy-models arise from a kinetic description of a tokamak plasma confined by strong magnetic fields. The…
