The solar wind is a magnetized plasma and as such exhibits collective plasma behavior
associated with its characteristic spatial and temporal scales. The characteristic length …

This paper reviews Vlasov-based numerical methods used to model plasma in space
physics and astrophysics. Plasma consists of collectively behaving charged particles that …

An unsolved problem in plasma turbulence is how energy is dissipated at small scales.
Particle collisions are too infrequent in hot plasmas to provide the necessary dissipation …

An overview is given of important properties of spatial and temporal intermittency, including
evidence of its appearance in fluids, magnetofluids and plasmas, and its implications for …

We present a combined observational and theoretical analysis to investigate the nature of
plasma turbulence at kinetic scales in the Earth's magnetosheath. In the first decade of the …

High resolution, fully kinetic, three dimensional (3D) simulation of collisionless plasma
turbulence shows the development of turbulence characterized by sheetlike current density …

We present results from a three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation of plasma turbulence,
resembling the plasma conditions found at kinetic scales of the solar wind. The spectral …

We investigate properties of plasma turbulence from magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) to sub-
ion scales by means of two-dimensional, high-resolution hybrid particle-in-cell simulations …

We report the results of a direct comparison between different kinetic models of collisionless
plasma turbulence in two spatial dimensions. The models considered include a first …

Collisionless dissipation in turbulent plasmas such as the solar wind and the solar corona
has been an intensively studied subject recently, with new insights often emerging from …
