Solving Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck Equations using NRxx method

چکیده
We present a numerical method to solve the Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck (VPFP) system using the NRxx method proposed in [4, 7, 9]. A globally hyperbolic moment system similar to that in [23] is derived. In this system, the Fokker-Planck (FP) operator term is reduced into the linear combination of the moment coefficients, which can be solved analytically under proper truncation. The non-splitting method, which can keepmass conservation and the balance law of the total momentum, is used to solve the whole system. A numerical problem for the VPFP system with an analytic solution is presented to indicate the spectral convergence with the moment number and the linear convergence with the grid size. Two more numerical experiments are tested to demonstrate the stability and accuracy of the NRxx method when applied to the VPFP system. AMS subject classifications: 35Q83, 65L20, 78M05

From Vlasov–Poisson and Vlasov–Poisson–Fokker–Planck Systems to Incompressible Euler Equations: the case with finite charge
We study the asymptotic regime of strong electric fields that leads from the Vlasov–Poisson system to the Incompressible Euler equations. We also deal with the Vlasov–Poisson–Fokker– Planck system which induces dissipative effects. The originality consists in considering a situation with a finite total charge confined by a strong external field. In turn, the limiting equation is set in a bounde...
متن کاملOn Long Time Asymptotics of the Vlasov-fokker-planck Equation and of the Vlasov-poisson-fokker-planck System with Coulombic and Newtonian Potentials
We prove that the solution of the Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation converges to the unique stationary solution with same mass as time tends to infinity. The same result holds in the repulsive coulombic case for the Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck system; the newtonian attractive case is also studied. We establish positive and negative answers to the question of existence of a stationary solution for ...
متن کاملSmoothing Effect for the Non-linear Vlasov-poisson-fokker-planck System
We study a smoothing effect of a non-linear degenerate parabolic problem, the Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck system, in three dimensions. We prove that a solution gives rise actually to very smooth macroscopic density and force field for positive time. This is obtained by analyzing the effect of the Fokker-Planck kernel on the force term in the Vlasov equation and using classical convolution ineq...
متن کاملSolving Vlasov Equations Using NRxx Method
In this paper, we propose a moment method to numerically solve the Vlasov equations using the framework of the NRxxmethod developed in [6, 8, 7] for the Boltzmann equation. Due to the same convection term of the Boltzmann equation and the Vlasov equation, it is very convenient to use the moment expansion in the NRxx method to approximate the distribution function in the Vlasov equations. The mo...
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).
