An adaptive, implicit, conservative, 1D-2V multi-species Vlasov–Fokker–Planck multi-scale solver in planar geometry

Journal Article Taitano, William T. ; Chacon, Luis ; Simakov, Andrei N. - Journal of Computational Physics

We consider a 1D-2V Vlasov–Fokker–Planck multi-species ionic description coupled to fluid electrons. We address temporal stiffness with implicit time stepping, suitably preconditioned. To address temperature disparity in time and space, we extend the conservative adaptive velocity-space discretization scheme proposed in [Taitano et al., J. Comput. Phys., 318, 391–420, (2016)] to a spatially inhomogeneous system. Here in this approach, we normalize the velocity-space coordinate to a temporally and spatially varying local characteristic speed per species. We explicitly consider the resulting inertial terms in the Vlasov equation, and derive a discrete formulation that conserves mass, momentum, and energy up to a prescribedmore »« less

A fully implicit, scalable, conservative nonlinear relativistic Fokker–Planck 0D-2P solver for runaway electrons

Journal Article Daniel, Don ; Taitano, William T. ; Chacón, Luis - Computer Physics Communications

Upon application of a sufficiently strong electric field, electrons break away from thermal equilibrium and approach relativistic speeds. These highly energetic ‘runaway’ electrons (~ MeV) play a significant role in tokamak disruption physics, and therefore their accurate understanding is essential to develop reliable mitigation strategies. As such, we have developed a fully implicit solver for the 0D-2P (i.e., including two momenta coordinates) relativistic nonlinear Fokker–Planck equation (rFP). As in earlier implicit rFP studies (NORSE, CQL3D), electron–ion interactions are modeled using the Lorentz operator, and synchrotron damping using the Abraham–Lorentz–Dirac reaction term. However, our implementation improves on these earlier studies bymore »« less

An adaptive, conservative 0D-2V multispecies Rosenbluth–Fokker–Planck solver for arbitrarily disparate mass and temperature regimes

Journal Article Taitano, William ; Chacon, Luis ; Simakov, Andrei Nikolaevich - Journal of Computational Physics

In this paper, we propose an adaptive velocity-space discretization scheme for the multi-species, multidimensional Rosenbluth–Fokker–Planck (RFP) equation, which is exactly mass-, momentum-, and energy-conserving. Unlike most earlier studies, our approach normalizes the velocity-space coordinate to the temporally varying individual plasma species' local thermal velocity, v_th (t), and explicitly considers the resulting inertial terms in the Fokker–Planck equation. Our conservation strategy employs nonlinear constraints to enforce discretely the conservation properties of these inertial terms and the Fokker–Planck collision operator. To deal with situations of extreme thermal velocity disparities among different species, we employ an asymptotic v_th -ratio-based expansion of the Rosenbluthmore »« less

An equilibrium-preserving discretization for the nonlinear Rosenbluth–Fokker–Planck operator in arbitrary multi-dimensional geometry

Journal Article Taitano, William T. ; Chacon, Luis ; Simakov, Andrei Nikolaevich - Journal of Computational Physics

Here, the Fokker–Planck collision operator is an advection-diffusion operator which describe dynamical systems such as weakly coupled plasmas, photonics in high temperature environment biological, and even social systems. For plasmas in the continuum, the Fokker–Planck collision operator supports such important physical properties as conservation of number, momentum, and energy, as well as positivity. It also obeys the Boltzmann's H-theorem, i.e., the operator increases the system entropy while simultaneously driving the distribution function towards a Maxwellian. In the discrete, when these properties are not ensured, numerical simulations can either fail catastrophically or suffer from significant numerical pollution. There is strong emphasismore »« less
