We have investigated the dynamical behaviors of intense charged particle beams propagating through continuous and periodic systems using a fully self consistent method based on the direct solution of the Vlasov equation in presence of conducting wall. The simulation code deals either with an axisymetric system (r, vr, v{theta}) or cartesian system (x, vx, y, vy). Several diagnostics have been implemented enabling to display halo generation caused by sources that are driven by nonlinear forces, mismatching, non-stationary beam distributions and its development Comparisons with corresponding PIC technique simulations can be made. Further works are in progress to study in the same manner the propagation of charged particle beams in quadrupole FODO channels.
