We present a novel family of particle discretisation methods for the nonlinear Landau collision operator. We exploit the metriplectic structure underlying the Vlasov-Maxwell-Landau system in order to obtain disretisation schemes that…

Collisional processes are critical in the understanding of non-Maxwellian plasmas. The Landau form of the Fokker-Planck equation is the gold standard for modeling collisions in most plasmas, however O(N^2) work complexity inhibits its…
