Difference Scheme for the Vlasov - Manev
نویسندگان
چکیده
We develop and test a finite difference scheme for the Vlasov-Manev Equation in one space and one velocity dimension. The Manev correction to the Newtonian potential produces visible qualitative differences in the behaviour of stellar systems; the most notable effect observed in this paper is a stabilisation of the separate identities of two Maxwellian concentrations at different locations. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification: 65N06,65N12,65N22,85A05

Stable Ground States and Self-Similar Blow-Up Solutions for the Gravitational Vlasov-Manev System
In this work, we study the orbital stability of steady states and the existence of blow-up self-similar solutions to the so-called Vlasov-Manev (VM) system. This system is a kinetic model which has a similar Vlasov structure as the classical Vlasov-Poisson system, but is coupled to a potential in −1/r−1/r (Manev potential) instead of the usual gravitational potential in −1/r, and in particular ...
متن کاملA difference scheme for the Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck system
A finite difference scheme is proposed for a relatively simple one dimensional collisional plasma model (Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck). The convergence of the scheme was established in [10]. In this article the scheme is implemented and compared with a random particle method. The difference scheme is found to be more effective, particularly at resolving the plasma density, / (£, x, v).
متن کاملDarwin-Vlasov simulations of magnetised plasmas
We present a new Vlasov code for collisionless plasmas in the nonrelativistic regime. A Darwin approximation is used for suppressing electromagnetic vacuum modes. The spatial integration is based on an extension of the flux-conservative scheme, introduced by Filbet et al. [F. Filbet, E. Sonnendrücker, P. Bertrand, Conservative numerical schemes for the Vlasov equation, J. Comput. Phys. 172 (200...
متن کاملDarwin-Vlasov Simulations of magnetized Plasmas
We present a new Vlasov code for collisionless plasmas in the nonrelativistic regime. A Darwin approximation is used for suppressing electromagnetic vacuum modes. The spatial integration is based on an extension of the flux-conservative scheme, introduced by Filbet et al. [23]. Performance and accuracy is demonstrated by comparing it to a standard finite differences scheme for two test cases, i...
متن کاملConservative semi-Lagrangian finite difference WENO formulations with applications to the Vlasov equation
Abstract In this paper, we propose a new conservative semi-Lagrangian (SL) finite difference (FD) WENO scheme for linear advection equations, which can serve as a base scheme for the Vlasov equation by Strang splitting [4]. The reconstruction procedure in the proposed SL FD scheme is the same as the one used in the SL finite volume (FV) WENO scheme [3]. However, instead of inputting cell averag...
