This paper reviews Vlasov-based numerical methods used to model plasma in space
physics and astrophysics. Plasma consists of collectively behaving charged particles that …

Turbulence and kinetic processes in magnetized space plasmas have been extensively
investigated over the past decades via in-situ spacecraft measurements, theoretical models …

With first-principles kinetic simulations, we show that a large-scale Alfvén wave (AW)
propagating in an inhomogeneous background decays into kinetic Alfvén waves (KAWs) …

The nature of the cross-scale connections between the inertial-range turbulent energy
cascade and the small-scale kinetic processes in collisionless plasmas is explored through …

The analysis of the Parker–Moffatt problem, recently revisited in Pezzi et al.(Astrophys. J.,
vol. 834, 2017, p. 166), is here extended by including Hall magnetohydrodynamics and two …

Fifty years of solar wind observations have provided extensive data that drives an evolving
view of the fundamental nature and dynamics of the magnetic, velocity, and density …

The interaction of two colliding Alfvén wave packets is described here by means of
magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and hybrid kinetic numerical simulations. The MHD …

Spatiotemporal properties of two-dimensional (2D) Hall-magnetohydrodynamic (MHD)
turbulence at intermediate plasma β= 2 are studied by means of Fast Iterative Filtering (FIF) …

Space plasmas are dominated by the presence of large-amplitude waves, large-scale
inhomogeneities, kinetic effects and turbulence. Beside the homogeneous turbulence, the …

Fluctuation properties of the kinetic Alfvén mode, such as polarization of the wave electric
and magnetic field around the mean magnetic field, parallel fluctuation to the mean field …
