The Darwin Approximation of the Relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell System
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system which describes large systems of particles interacting by means of their collectively generated forces. If the speed of light c is considered as a parameter then it is known that in the Newtonian limit c → ∞ the Vlasov-Poisson system is obtained. In this paper we determine the next order approximate system, which in the case of individual particles usually is called the Darwin approximation.

In this study, relativistic Vlasov simulation of plasma for expansion of collisionless plasma for into vacuum is presented. The model is based on 1+1 dimensional phase space and electrostatic approximation. For this purpose, the electron dynamics is studied by the relativistic Vlasov equation. Regardless of the ions temperature, fluid equations are used for their dynamics. The initial electro...
متن کاملOn the Controllability of the Relativistic Vlasov-maxwell System
In this paper, we study the controllability of the two-dimensional relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system in a torus, by means of an interior control. We give two types of results. With the geometric control condition on the control set, we prove the local exact controllability of the system in large time. Our proof in this case is based on the return method, on some results on the control of the M...
متن کاملGlobal classical solutions of the Vlasov-Darwin system for small initial data
A global-in-time existence theorem for classical solutions of the Vlasow-Darwin system is given under the assumption of smallness of the initial data. Furthermore it is shown that in case of spherical symmetry the system degenerates to the relativistic Vlasov-Poisson system.
متن کاملGlobal weak solutions to the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system revisited
In their seminal work [3], R. DiPerna and P.-L. Lions established the existence of global weak solutions to the Vlasov-Maxwell system. In the present notes we give a somewhat simplified proof of this result for the relativistic version of this system, the main purpose being to make this important result of kinetic theory more easily accessible to newcomers in the field. We show that the weak so...
متن کاملNumerical Approximation of Self-Consistent Vlasov Models for Low-Frequency Electromagnetic Phenomena
We present a new numerical method to solve the Vlasov-Darwin and Vlasov-Poisswell systems which are approximations of the Vlasov-Maxwell equation in the asymptotic limit of the infinite speed of light. These systems model low-frequency electromagnetic phenomena in plasmas, and thus “light waves” are somewhat supressed, which in turn allows the numerical discretization to dispense with the Coura...
