One characteristic trait of space plasmas is the multi-scale dynamics resulting from non-
linear transfers and conversions of various forms of energy. Routinely evidenced in a range …

The solar wind is a magnetized plasma and as such exhibits collective plasma behavior
associated with its characteristic spatial and temporal scales. The characteristic length …

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

An overview is given of important properties of spatial and temporal intermittency, including
evidence of its appearance in fluids, magnetofluids and plasmas, and its implications for …

The past decade has seen a flurry of research activity focused on discerning the physics of
kinetic scale turbulence in high-speed astrophysical plasma flows. By 'kinetic'we mean …

The complex nonlinear dynamical phenomenon described as turbulence, is known to have
a great impact on fluids, magnetohydrodynamic systems, and on plasmas. This paper …

A Hybrid Vlasov–Maxwell (HVM) model is presented and recent results about the link
between kinetic effects and turbulence are reviewed. Using five-dimensional (2D in space …

The near-Earth space is a unique laboratory to explore turbulence and energy dissipation
processes in magnetized plasmas thanks to the availability of high-quality data from various …

Kinetic plasma turbulence cascade spans multiple scales ranging from macroscopic fluid
flow to sub-electron scales. Mechanisms that dissipate large scale energy, terminate the …

We present a new algorithm for the discretization of the non-relativistic Vlasov–Maxwell
system of equations for the study of plasmas in the kinetic regime. Using the discontinuous …
