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

The complex nonlinear dynamical phenomenon described as turbulence, is known to have
a great impact on fluids, magnetohydrodynamic systems, and on plasmas. This paper …

High time-resolution solar wind magnetic field data are employed to study statistics
describing intermittency near the first perihelion (∼ 35.6 R⊙) of the Parker Solar Probe …

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 …

Turbulence and kinetic processes in magnetized space plasmas have been extensively
investigated over the past decades via in-situ spacecraft measurements, theoretical models …

Using high-resolution Cluster satellite observations and a multi-dimensional intermittency
technique, we show that the magnetic discontinuities in the turbulent solar wind are …

We analyze plasma heating in weakly collisional kinetic Alfvén wave turbulence using high
resolution gyrokinetic simulations spanning the range of scales between the ion and the …

The solar wind is a highly turbulent medium, with a high level of field fluctuations throughout
a broad range of scales. These include an inertial range where a turbulent cascade is …

We study the damping of collisionless Alfvénic turbulence in a strongly magnetised plasma
by two mechanisms: stochastic heating (whose efficiency depends on the local turbulence …
