The Grad method is generalized based on the Bogolyubov idea of the functional hypothesis for states at the end of relaxation processes in a system. The Grad problem (i.e., description of the Maxwell relaxation) for a completely ionized…
Methods for modelling the electrical conductivity of dense plasmas and liquid metals, based upon the well-known Ziman formula, are reviewed from a general perspective, and some earlier inconsistencies relating to its application to finite…
We are interested in the inhomogeneous Landau equation which describes the evolution of a particle density f = f (t, x, v) representing at time t $\ge$ 0, the density of particles at position x $\in$ R 3 and velocity v $\in$ R 3. The study…
Collisional relaxation of Coulomb systems is studied in the strongly coupled regime. We use an optical pump-probe approach to manipulate and monitor the dynamics of ions in an ultracold neutral plasma, which allows direct measurement of…
Fully kinetic simulations of the Vlasov equation require a careful numerical treatment of phase space advections to ensure accuracy and stability in six dimensions. To test the accuracy of full Vlasov codes, we have developed a surprisingly…
The relaxation of temperatures and velocities of the components of a quasi-equilibrium two-component homogeneous completely ionized plasma is investigated on the basis of a generalization of the Chapman-Enskog method applied to the Landau…
We present an adaptive spectral method for solving the Landau/Fokker-Planck equation for electron-ion systems. The heart of the algorithm is an expansion in Laguerre polynomials, which has several advantages, including automatic…
The linearized collision operator of the Boltzmann equation for single species can be written as a sum of a positive multiplication operator, the collision frequency, and a compact integral operator. This classical result has more recently,…
We study the influence of the factor of electron-ion collisions on the solution of the Cauchy problem in the one-dimensional relativistic model of cold plasma and show that, depending on their intensity and initial data, two scenarios are…
Collisionless plasmas, mostly present in astrophysical and space environments, often require a kinetic treatment as given by the Vlasov equation. Unfortunately, the six-dimensional Vlasov equation can only be solved on very small parts of…
Our last three papers provide an occasion to make some brief notes on ideology of waves in plasmas and to rehabilitate Vlasov prescription to calculate relevant logarithmically divergent integrals in the principal value sense. In this…
Going beyond the linearized study has been a longstanding problem in the theory of Landau damping. In this paper we establish exponential Landau damping in analytic regularity. The damping phenomenon is reinterpreted in terms of transfer of…
Landau damping is the mechanism of plasma and beam stabilization; it arises through energy transfer from collective modes to the incoherent motion of resonant particles. Normally this resonance requires the resonant particle's frequency to…
The classic problem of the dynamic evolution of Langmuir electron waves in a collisionless plasma and their Landau damping is cast as a second-order, self-adjoint problem with a continuum spectrum of real and positive squared frequencies.…
Spectral approximation based on Hermite-Fourier expansion of the Vlasov-Poisson model for a collisionless plasma in the electro-static limit is provided, by including high-order artificial collision operators of Lenard-Bernstein type. These…
A short intrinsic proof is given for the Bourgain-Brezis-Mironescu theorem with an extension for higher-order gradient forms. This argument illustrates the role of functional geometry and Fourier analysis for obtaining embedding estimates.…
Finite-$N$ effects unavoidably drive the long-term evolution of long-range interacting $N$-body systems. The Balescu-Lenard kinetic equation generically describes this process sourced by ${1/N}$ effects but this kinetic operator exactly…
A new modified Vlasov equation has been obtained in this paper for the systems with dissipative phenomena such as, for example, plasma with irradiation.
A unified, fast, and effective approach is developed for numerical calculation of the well-known plasma dispersion function with extensions from Maxwellian distribution to almost arbitrary distribution functions, such as the $\delta$, flat…
In this paper, we present a new framework for addressing the nonlinear Landau collision operator in terms of particle-in-cell methods. We employ the underlying metriplectic structure of the collision operator and, using a macro particle…
