Discontinuous Galerkin Semi-lagrangian Method for Vlasov-poisson
Abstract. We present a discontinuous Galerkin scheme for the numerical approximation of the onedimensional periodic Vlasov-Poisson equation. The scheme is based on a Galerkin-characteristics method in which the distribution function is projected onto a space of discontinuous functions. We present comparisons with a semi-Lagrangian method to emphasize the good behavior of this scheme when applie...
متن کاملOn the geometric properties of the semi-Lagrangian discontinuous Galerkin scheme for the Vlasov-Poisson equation
The semi-Lagrangian discontinuous Galerkin method, coupled with a splitting approach in time, has recently been introduced for the Vlasov–Poisson equation. Since these methods are conservative, local in space, and able to limit numerical diffusion, they are considered a promising alternative to more traditional semi-Lagrangian schemes. In this paper we study the conservation of important invari...
متن کاملPositivity preserving semi-Lagrangian discontinuous Galerkin formulation: Theoretical analysis and application to the Vlasov-Poisson system
Semi-Lagrangian (SL) methods have been very popular in the Vlasov simulation community [28, 2, 3, 18, 31, 4, 23, 25]. In this paper, we propose a new Strang split SL discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for solving the Vlasov equation. Specifically, we apply the Strang splitting for the Vlasov equation [5], as a way to decouple the nonlinear Vlasov system into a sequence of linear equations. To e...
متن کاملA discontinuous Galerkin method for the Vlasov-Poisson system
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 are used as a basis, the method preserves the positivity of the electron distribution function. The performance of the method is investigated by computing f...
متن کاملDiscontinuous Galerkin Methods for the Multi-dimensional Vlasov-poisson Problem
We introduce and analyze two new semi-discrete numerical methods for the multi-dimensional Vlasov-Poisson system. The schemes are constructed by combing a discontinuous Galerkin approximation to the Vlasov equation together with a mixed finite element method for the Poisson problem. We show optimal error estimates in the case of smooth compactly supported initial data. We propose a scheme that ...
