Bridging Kinetic and Fluid Scales: A GLE-FDT Framework for Coarse-Graining Electron Kinetic Physics

Overview

This award supports development of a novel numerical method to model shocks in a plasma. Most visible matter in the universe exists in the plasma state. When stars explode or our Sun blows wind towards Earth, powerful shock waves are driven through the plasma of space. These shocks are believed to be nature’s most…
