The Vlasov-Poisson system with strong external magnetic field. Finite Larmor radius regime
We study here the finite Larmor radius regime for the Vlasov-Poisson equations with strong external magnetic field. The derivation of the limit model follows by formal expansion in power series with respect to a small parameter. If we replace the particle distribution by the center distribution of the Larmor circles the limit of these densities satisfies a transport equation, whose velocity is ...
متن کاملThe Finite Larmor Radius Approximation
The presence of a large external magnetic field in a plasma introduces an additional time-scale which is very constraining for the numerical simulation. Hence it is very useful to introduce averaged models which remove this time-scale. However, depending on other parameters of the plasma, different starting models for the asymptotic analysis may be considered. We introduce here a generic framew...
متن کاملFinite Larmor-radius theory of magnetic island evolution.
Gyrokinetic theory is used to investigate the effect of the polarization drift on magnetic island evolution. Three regimes are found. For island phase velocities between the ion- and electric-drift velocities, the polarization current is shown to be stabilizing. For phase velocities between the electric- and electron-drift velocities, the island emits drift waves. This results in a radiative dr...
متن کاملThe three-dimensional finite Larmor radius approximation
Following Frénod and Sonnendrücker ([12]), we consider the finite Larmor radius regime for a plasma submitted to a large magnetic field and take into account both the quasineutrality and the local thermodynamic equilibrium of the electrons. We then rigorously establish the asymptotic gyrokinetic limit of the rescaled and modified Vlasov-Poisson system in a three-dimensional setting with the hel...
متن کاملFinite Larmor Radius Effects and Quantum Chaos
Informed by insights from quantum chaos theory, three approaches for estimating finite-Larmor-radius (FLR) stabilization of ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities are discussed: phase space criteria based on the Weyl formula, “pseudo-FLR” modifications of MHD to suppress large perpendicular wavenumbers, and inclusion of drift corrections to the dispersion relation. PACS numbers: 52.35.Bj...
