چکیده

The full gyrokinetic electrostatic linearized Landau collision operator is calculated including the equilibrium operator, which represents the effect of collisions between gyrokinetic Maxwellian particles. First, the equilibrium operator describes energy exchange between different plasma species, which is important in multiple ion-species plasmas. Second, the equilibrium operator describes drag and diffusion of the magnetic field aligned component of the vorticity associated with the E×B drift. Therefore, a correct description of collisional effects in turbulent plasmas requires the equilibrium operator, even for like-particle collisions.

Gyrokinetic Fokker-Planck collision operator.

The gyrokinetic linearized exact Fokker-Planck collision operator is obtained in a form suitable for plasma gyrokinetic equations, for arbitrary mass ratio. The linearized Fokker-Planck operator includes both the test-particle and field-particle contributions, and automatically conserves particles, momentum, and energy, while ensuring non-negative entropy production. Finite gyroradius effects i...

Explicit spectral gap estimates for the linearized Boltzmann and Landau operators with hard potentials

This paper deals with explicit spectral gap estimates for the linearized Boltzmann operator with hard potentials (and hard spheres). We prove that it can be reduced to the Maxwellian case, for which explicit estimates are already known. Such a method is constructive, does not rely on Weyl’s Theorem and thus does not require Grad’s splitting. The more physical idea of the proof is to use geometr...

Linearized quantum and relativistic Fokker-Planck-Landau equations

After a recent work on spectral properties and dispersion relations of the linearized classical Fokker-Planck-Landau operator 8], we establish in this paper analogous results for two more realistic collision operators: The rst one is the Fokker-Planck-Landau collision operator obtained by relativistic calculations of binary interactions , and the second is a collision operator (of Fokker-Planck...

A fully non-linear multi-species Fokker-Planck-Landau collision operator for simulation of fusion plasma

Fusion edge plasmas can be far from thermal equilibrium and require the use of a non-linear collision operator for accurate numerical simulations. In this article, the non-linear single-species Fokker-Planck-Landau collision operator developed by Yoon and Chang [Phys. Plasmas 21, 032503 (2014)] is generalized to include multiple particle species. The finite volume discretization used in this wo...

Explicit coercivity estimates for the linearized Boltzmann and Landau operators

We prove explicit coercivity estimates for the linearized Boltzmann and Landau operators, for a general class of interactions including any inversepower law interactions, and hard spheres. The functional spaces of these coecivity estimates depend on the collision kernel of these operators. For Maxwell molecules they coincide with the spectral gap estimates. For hard potentials they are stronger...
