The methodology used to assess the reliability of numerical
simulation codes
constitutes the Verification and Validation (V&V) procedure.
V&V is composed by two
separate tasks: the verification process, which is a
mathematical issue targeted to
assess that the physical model is correctly solved by the
numerical code, and the
validation, which determines the consistency of the...

Electron diffusion region (EDR) is regarded as the key region of
collisionless magnetic
reconnection. Electrons are unmagnetized inside the EDR, and
magnetic field lines are detached
from plasma, allowing fast conversion of magnetic energy into energy
of plasma. Large-scale
kinetic simulations are required for understanding the EDR structure. In
this study, two-
dimensional...

Suprathermal ions with energies greater than the background
plasma species are
frequently observed during magnetic reconnection in
astrophysical and laboratory
plasmas. Understanding the interaction between turbulence
and suprathermal ions is a
fundamental problem to shed light on the physics governing
many plasma phenomena,
from particle dropouts during impulsive solar energetic...
