Approximations to boundary value problems for nonlinear collisional kinetic plasma models
Abstract:
We will discuss recent approximations to boundary value problems to non-linear systems of Boltzmann or Landau (for Coulombic interactions) equations coupled to the Poisson equation. The proposed approximation methods involve hybrid schemes of spectral and Galerkin type, were conservation of flow invariants are achieved by a constrain minimization problem. We will discuss some analytical and computational issues related to these approximations. [video]
