Dr Gian Luca Delzanno (Los Alamos National Laboratory)14/08/2015, 14:00Workshop, August 10-14InvitedThe Vlasov-Maxwell equations are a fundamental model for the microscopic evolution of magnetized, collisionless plasmas. Because of the wide disparity of spatial and temporal scales typical of plasmas, their numerical solution is extremely challenging and is a very active area of research. There are three main numerical approaches to the solution of the...Go to contribution page

Yann Pfau-Kempf (Finnish Meteorological Institute, Helsinki, Finland)14/08/2015, 14:25Workshop, August 10-14OralThe Finnish Meteorological Institute's hybrid-Vlasov model Vlasiator (http://vlasiator.fmi.fi), which couples kinetic ion physics through Vlasov's equation with charge-neutralising fluid electrons, is used to model self-consistently the solar wind-magnetosphere interaction in two spatial and three velocity dimensions. Recent simulations in the polar plane include southward IMF in...Go to contribution page

Mr Rishi Mistry (Imperial College London)14/08/2015, 14:50Workshop, August 10-14OralMagnetic reconnection at the magnetopause and magnetotail affect many magnetospheric dynamics including the onset of magnetospheric sub-storms and space weather effects, and the balance of energy in the magnetosphere. In these environments, however, asymmetric boundary conditions and imprecise knowledge of the motion of reconnection exhausts relative to spacecraft affect the...Go to contribution page
