Higher-order Hamiltonian fluid reduction of Vlasov equation
نویسندگان
چکیده
From the Hamiltonian structure of the Vlasov equation, we build a Hamiltonian model for the first three moments of the Vlasov distribution function, namely, the density, the momentum density and the specific internal energy. We derive the Poisson bracket of thismodel from the Poisson bracket of the Vlasov equation, andwe discuss the associated Casimir invariants. © 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Hamiltonian formalism of two-dimensional Vlasov kinetic equation.
In this paper, the two-dimensional Benney system describing long wave propagation of a finite depth fluid motion and the multi-dimensional Russo-Smereka kinetic equation describing a bubbly flow are considered. The Hamiltonian approach established by J. Gibbons for the one-dimensional Vlasov kinetic equation is extended to a multi-dimensional case. A local Hamiltonian structure associated with ...
متن کاملPoisson bracket for the Vlasov equation on a symplectic leaf
It is by now well known that many nondissipative continuous systems possess a Hamiltonian structure, which when viewed in terms of Eulerian variables has a noncanonical form. Examples from plasma physics include ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) [1], theVlasovequation [2], the two-fluid equations [3], and the BBGKY hierarchy [4]. A common feature of all these systems is that they possess Casimir...
متن کاملHamiltonian approach to hybrid plasma models
The Hamiltonian structures of several hybrid kinetic-fluid models are identified explicitly, upon considering collisionless Vlasov dynamics for the hot particles interacting with a bulk fluid. After presenting different pressure-coupling schemes for an ordinary fluid interacting with a hot gas, the paper extends the treatment to account for a fluid plasma interacting with an energetic ion speci...
متن کاملEnergy-Casimir stability of hybrid Vlasov-MHD models
Different variants of hybrid kinetic-fluid models are considered for describing the interaction of a bulk fluid plasma obeying magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and an energetic component obeying a kinetic theory. Upon using the Vlasov kinetic theory for energetic particles, two planar Vlasov-MHD models are compared in terms of their stability properties. This is made possible by the Hamiltonian struc...
متن کاملHamiltonian restriction of Vlasov equations to rotating isopycnic and isentropic two-layer equations
A direct link between a Vlasov equation and the equations of motion of a rotating fluid with an effective pressure depending only on a pseudo-density is illustrated. In this direct link, the resulting fluid equations necessarily appear in flux conservative form when there are no topographical and rotational terms. In contrast, multilayer isopycnic and isentropic equations used in atmosphere and...
