A high-order, stable summation-by-parts (SBP) finite difference method for solving the Vlasov-Maxwell system in a 2D2V phase space and proves that the fully discrete scheme exactly conserves mass and preserves momentum up to truncation error.
Abstract
In this paper, we present a high-order, stable summation-by-parts (SBP) finite difference method for solving the Vlasov-Maxwell system in a 2D2V phase space. Central SBP operators for the advection terms are not stable when the solution becomes non-smooth and fine-scale filamentary structures develop, as is typical in high-dimensional Vlasov-Maxwell simulations. To address this issue, the method is stabilized using high-order upwind SBP operators. High-order explicit Runge-Kutta methods are employed for time integration. We prove that the fully discrete scheme exactly conserves mass and preserves momentum up to truncation error. Furthermore, we present a matrix-free implementation of the method on modern GPU architectures. A range of challenging benchmark problems is solved to demonstrate the accuracy, robustness, and performance of the proposed scheme.
In this paper, we introduce a novel second-order, positivity-preserving finite element method for the Vlasov equations using a convex limiting algorithm. The method employs strong-stability-preserving (SSP) Runge-Kutta time integration and a tensor-product construction of the phase-space mesh for efficient high-dimensi...

We present a nodal discontinuous Galerkin method for solving the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) kinetic equation on multi-dimensional, unstructured grids. The method uses implicit, sweep-based solvers and a moment-preserving projection of the Maxwellian source to enable high-order accuracy in time while avoiding restricti...

A novel semi-implicit second-order finite volume scheme integrating the scalar auxiliary variable (SAV) approach is proposed for solving the pseudo-time Eikonal equation in wall-distance computation. Unconditional energy stability under zero boundary conditions is rigorously proved, eliminating the dependence of the ti...
We develop a high-order and positivity-preserving kinetic solver for the multi-species Vlasov-Amp\`ere system that is built within a semi-Lagrangian discontinuous Galerkin (SLDG) framework. The method is designed for efficiency and accuracy across a broad range of conditions, including stiff, multi-scale regimes with s...
This study develops a graphics processing unit (GPU)-accelerated spectral element phase-field method for efficient and accurate simulation of incompressible two-phase flows. The objective is to reduce the cost of the repeated elliptic subproblems that dominate Navier–Stokes–Cahn–Hilliard simulations while retaining hig...
