This paper is the first in a series of three papers to summarize the recent work of an
European‐wide collaborationwhich is ongoing since about one decade using Particle‐in …

The proper boundary conditions at the magnetic presheath entrance for plasma fluid
turbulence models based on the drift approximation are derived, focusing on a weakly …

In this paper, two simplified models of edge localized mode (ELM) power exhaust are
developed, one based on the kinetic and the other on the fluid treatment of parallel losses …

A new model of the stationary electrostatic plasma sheath in front of divertor plates is
developed, which takes into account strong inelastic processes. Using particle-in-cell …

In this series of three papers we present results from a combined experimental and
theoretical, particle-based study to quantitatively describe capacitively coupled radio …

A simple method is described for optimization of particle-in-cell codes by improved memory
management. This includes a faster calculation of Monte-Carlo collision operators. It is …

The interaction between a plasma and a solid surface is studied in a (1D-1V) kinetic
approach using immersed boundary conditions and penalization to model the wall. Two …

In a recent paper by Kuhn et al [Phys. Plasmas 13, 013503 (2006)], it has been
demonstrated that in a plasma, the polytropic coefficient γ is a spatially varying quantity …

We develop a gyrokinetic treatment for ions in the magnetic presheath, close to the plasma-
wall boundary. We focus on magnetic presheaths with a small magnetic field to wall angle …
