We apply the collision-based hybrid introduced in \cite{hauck} to the Boltzmann equation with the BGK operator and a hyperbolic scaling. An implicit treatment of the source term is used to handle stiffness associated with the BGK operator.…

We consider a kinetic description of a multi-species gas mixture modeled with Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) collision operators, in which the collision frequency varies not only in time and space but also with the microscopic velocity. In…

We are developing a new continuum gyrokinetic code, Gkeyll, for use in edge plasma simulations, and here present initial simulations of turbulence on open field lines with model sheath boundary conditions. The code implements an energy…

Solving the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) equation with a stochastic particle approach enables efficient and flexible simulations of flows in the transition regime, between continuum and free molecular flow. However, the usual first-order…

A conservative discontinuous Galerkin scheme for a nonlinear Dougherty collision operator in full-f long-wavelength gyrokinetics is presented. Analytically this model operator has the advective-diffusive form of Fokker-Planck operators, it…

This paper presents the first gyrokinetic (GK) simulations of edge and scrape-off layer (SOL) turbulence accelerated by a velocity-space spectral approach in the full-f GK code GENE-X. Building upon the original grid velocity-space…

The Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) model of the Boltzmann equation allows for efficient flow simulations, especially in the transition regime between continuum and high rarefaction. However, ensuring efficient performances for multiscale…

Implicit methods and GPU parallelization are two distinct yet powerful strategies for accelerating high-order CFD algorithms. However, few studies have successfully integrated both approaches within high-speed flow solvers. The core…

The derivation and numerical implementation of a linearized version of the gyrokinetic (GK) Coulomb collision operator (Jorge R. et al., J. Plasma Phys. 85, 905850604 (2019)) and of the widely-used linearized GK Sugama collision operator…

A new implicit BGK collision model using a semi-Lagrangian approach is proposed in this paper. Unlike existing models, in which the implicit BGK collision is resolved either by a temporal extrapolation or by a variable transformation, the…

Ideal gases can be modeled by the Boltzmann equation from statistical physics. Instead of trying to track the position and velocity of a large number of gas molecules, it is possible to describe the particles with a particle distribution…

Numerically solving the Boltzmann kinetic equations with the small Knudsen number is challenging due to the stiff nonlinear collision term. A class of asymptotic preserving schemes was introduced in [6] to handle this kind of problems. The…
