通过与守恒流体模型耦合增强Vlasov程序的守恒性质

Enhanced conservation properties of Vlasov codes through coupling with conservative fluid models

T. Trost, S. Lautenbach, R. Grauer

摘要:

无碰撞等离子体物理中的许多现象都需要动力学描述。相空间密度的演化可以通过弗拉索夫方程来建模,在大多数相关情况下,该方程必须数值求解。在这种模拟中经常出现的问题之一是违反重要的物理守恒定律。相空间中的数值扩散转化为非物理加热,这可以显着增加总能量,这取决于时间尺度和等离子体状态。在本文中,一个一般的和直接的方法来提高守恒性质的Vlasov计划,可以潜在地应用到各种不同的代码。其基本思想是使用具有良好守恒性质的流体模型来校正动力学模型。流体模型中缺少的较高力矩由动力学代码提供,使得动力学代码和流体代码在闭合反馈回路中补偿彼此的弱点。

英文摘要:

Many phenomena in collisionless plasma physics require a kinetic description. The evolution of the phase space density can be modeled by means of the Vlasov equation, which has to be solved numerically in most of the relevant cases. One of the problems that often arise in such simulations is the violation of important physical conservation laws. Numerical diffusion in phase space translates into unphysical heating, which can increase the overall energy significantly, depending on the time scale and the plasma regime. In this paper, a general and straightforward way of improving conservation properties of Vlasov schemes is presented that can potentially be applied to a variety of different codes. The basic idea is to use fluid models with good conservation properties for correcting kinetic models. The higher moments that are missing in the fluid models are provided by the kinetic codes, so that both kinetic and fluid codes compensate the weaknesses of each other in a closed feedback loop.
