Collaborative Research: Vlasov-Maxwell Simulations to Resolve Electron Heating and Dissipation, in Quasi-Perpendicular Shocks
- Univ. of Arizona, Tucson, AZ (United States); University of Arizona
The major goals of the project are to study three fundamental questions related to collisionless, non-relativistic, quasi-perpendicular shocks by combining continuum Vlasov-Maxwell simulations (the Gkeyll framework) and high resolution, in situ heliospheric observations from the MMS spacecraft. The specific questions are: 1. How and where are electrons energized and heated in a quasi-perpendicular shock, including the ultimate source of entropy production? 2. What role do waves, turbulence, and secondary instabilities play in the conversion of directed flow energy to electron energy? 3. How do the parameters of the shock determine the energization of electrons?
