    Takayuki Umeda, Simulation of collisionless plasma with the Vlasov method
    Nova Science, Dec. 2012, 9781613247907, 315-332, English, Scholarly book, Numerical schemes for solving the Vlasov-Maxwell system of equations are presented. Our Universe is filled with collisionless plasma, which is a dielectric medium with nonlinear interactions between charged particles and electromagnetic fields. Thus computer simulations play an essential role in studies of such highly nonlinear systems. The full kinetics of collisionless plasma is described by the Vlasov-Maxwell equations. Since the Vlasov equation treats charged particles as position-velocity phase-space distribution functions in hyper dimensions, huge supercomputers and highly-scalable parallel codes are essential. Recently, a new parallel Vlasov-Maxwell solver is developed by adopting a stable but less-dissipative scheme for time integration of conservation laws, which has successfully achieved a high scalability on massively parallel supercomputers with multi-core scalar processors. The new code has applied to 2P3V (two dimensions for position and three dimensions for velocity) problems of cross-scale plasma processes such as magnetic reconnection, Kelvin-Helmholtz instability and the interaction between the solar wind and an asteroid. © 2012 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.

    宇宙プラズマ環境変動の予測において計算機シミュレーションは今後不可欠な手段となる。既存の磁気流体力学(MHD)方程式に基づくプラズマ流体シミュレーションでは、慣性効果、圧力テンソルの非対角成分、熱輸送テンソルや四次以上の高次モーメント量などの非MHD項は無視されている。本研究では、第一原理運動論プラズマシミュレーションと流体ミュレーションとの直接比較によって、非MHD項である高次モーメント量が従来のMHD量に対してどのくらいの強度を持つのかを定量的に評価し、非MHD項の各項の重要性を議論する。また高次モーメント量を導入した新たな電磁流体方程式系を導出し、その数値シミュレーション手法を開発する。
    Thompson [1961]のジャイロ平均した速度分布関数の近似式に基づいて、三次及び四次モーメント量の近似式を導出した。また、ケルヴィン・ヘルムホルツ不安定性の2次元full-Vlasovシミュレーション結果より三次及び四次モーメント量を計算し、導出した近似式との直接比較を行った。その結果、四次モーメント量はよく近似できていることに対し、三次モーメント量はほどんど近似できていないことを示した。本研究グループの過去の研究において二次モーメント量もよく近似できていることを示した[Umeda et al. 2016]ため、この結果はThompson [1961]の奇数モーメント量の近似式を見直す必要があることを示唆する。
    1次元full-Vlasovシミュレーションによる接触不連続のパラメータサーベイを行い、Maxwell速度分布を持つプラズマ中ではMHD平衡解としての接触不連続が存在しないことを示唆した。更に、full-Vlasovシミュレーションと全く同一パラメータを用いた1次元hybrid-Vlasovシミュレーションとの直接比較を行い、接触不連続の崩壊の要因が三次モーメント量である熱輸送量であることを示した。この結果は、流体と運動論の差を作る要因の1つが三次モーメント量であることを示唆する。
    高次モーメント量を含む電磁流体方程式を導出し、差分化のための格子系の検討を行った。また、staggered格子系の方程式についての高次精度化スキームの検討を行い、1次元Maxwell方程式について従来のFDTD法を四次精度に拡張した。
    令和元年度の課題として設定した3つのうち、境界層の多次元full-Vlasovシミュレーションは順調に進んでいる。また磁場に沿った円柱座標系の回転方向に平均化したVlasov方程式を用いたThompson[1961]のモーメント近似法について、3次モーメント量である熱輸送テンソルの近似精度が悪いことを示した研究結果を出版した。4次モーメントまでを含んだ電磁流体方程式を導出し、計算手法の検討を行っている最中である。
    Vlasovシミュレーションについては計算を継続する。また磁場に沿った円柱座標系の回転方向に平均化したVlasov方程式を用いたThompson 1961のモーメント近似法について、平均化したVlasov方程式そのものについて、導出過程から見直す。四次モーメントまでを含んだ電磁流体方程式については、計算手法の検討を引き続き行い、また磁場に対するガウスの法則(磁場の無発散)を満たすため、staggered格子系の導入を試みる。

  • Plasma heating/acceleration in kinetic plasma turbulence and its turbulence evolution
    Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research
    01 Apr. 2014 - 31 Mar. 2019
    Saito Shinji; UMEDA takayuki
    We study kinetic plasma turbulence, where kinetic effect of charged particles are important in its dynamics, by using fully kinetic particle-in-cell simulations. We focus on heating/acceleration processes associated with dissipation of the kinetic turbulence.
    In this study we investigate nonlinear dynamics of whistler mode turbulence. In linear theory, whistler mode does not resonate with ions. However, the fully kinetic particle-in-cell simulations demonstrate that ions can be accelerated and/or heated by whistler mode turbulence through its nonlinear developments that include plasma instability and nonlinear intermittent nature of the kinetic turbulence.

    The nonlinear evolution of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) and the Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) at a density shear layer transverse to magnetic field in collisionless plasma is investigated by means of a fully kinetic Vlasov simulation with two spatial and two velocity dimensions. Several simulation runs with different ratio of the ion inertial length and/or ion gyro radius to the thickness of the initial shear layer have been performed to discuss “non-MHD effects” such as the ion inertial (Hall) effect and the ion finite Larmor radius (FLR) effect. The result shows that the instabilities develop symmetrically when neither Hall effect or FLR effect are available. An asymmetric development of the instabilities is seen when the Hall effect is available. When the FLR effect is available, a different type of instability with a spatial scale of ion gyro radius is generated, which disturbs the development of the primary instabilities.

  • Generation of cosmic-ray protons at collisionless shocks via hybrid particle-in-cell simulations

    Apr. 2014 - Mar. 2018
    UMEDA TAKAYUKI
    The computational speed of the particle-in-cell-type plasma simulation codes is accelerated by using the counting sort algorithm and the array-particle data structure. Large-scale two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations are carried out by using the improved code for studying non-stationarity of perpendicular shocks called the reformation. The result implies that the existence of the reformation is controlled by types of micro-instabilities at the shock transition layer.
    One- and two-dimensional particle simulations are also carried out on the development of a large-amplitude whistler-mode waves in the shock transition layer. Relativistic electron acceleration is found in the 1D run. On the other hand, a rapid decay of whistler-mode waves through a new instability is found in the 2D run, which suppress the relativistic electron acceleration.

  • Basic plasma processes in the termination shock in a striped pulsar wind

    We conducted basic researches on magnetic reconnection and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) shocks. We proposed a new definition of the central region of magnetic reconnection and then further discussed particle dynamics in the reconnection magnetic geometry. Next we organized a fundamental algorithm to deal with relativistically-moving plasma distribution in particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. By using a relativistic PIC simulation, we studied the electromagnetic balance in the central region of relativistic magnetic reconnection. We also developed a shock-capturing MHD code, which is publicly available. We studied the interaction between magnetic reconnection and MHD shocks. We also proposed a new mechanism to explain gamma-ray flares in a Crab pulsar system, by using MHD simulations.

  • Six-dimensional plasma simulation
    Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research
    Apr. 2013 - Mar. 2015
    UMEDA Takayuki
    A fully six-dimensional electromagnetic Vlasov code has been developed. Work arrays and memory space for the computation of the advection in the configuration space are substantially saved by the transposition of the data arrays for distribution functions. It is confirmed that the transposition efficiently accelerates the computational speed on x86 CPUs. While on SPARC CPUs, the computational efficiency becomes slightly worse.
    We also performed large-scale Vlasov simulation of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) and a weakly-magnetized small body. It is shown that ion-scale secondary instabilities taking place during the nonlinear development of MHD-scale primary KHI are affected by the structure of secondary velocity-shear layers of primary KH vortices. On the other hand, electron-scale charge separation does not affect the structure of MHD-scale magnetosphere but affects wave activities inside the magnetosphere.

  • Study of cross-scale coupling in space plasma via large-scale Vlasov simulations
    Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research
    2011 - 2012
    UMEDA Takayuki
    We study numerical schemes for the first-principle Vlasov code as a post-Peta-scale computer simulation technique of space plasma. We developed numerical algorithms for solving the collisionless Boltzmann (Vlasov) equation which is a hyper-dimensional conservation law. The new simulation code is parallelized for scalar massively parallel computers with more than 10,000 CPU cores. The new code is applied to various multi-scale processes in space plasma. The first global Vlasov simulation of a magnetized astronomical body is succeeded. Also, it is shown that temporal evolution of fluid-scale Kelvin-Helmholtz vortices generated at a velocity-shear layer is strongly affected by the particle-scale ion gyro motion.

  • Non-equilibrium plasmas associated with magnetohydrodynamic waves in solar wind plasmas

    In the present study, the solar wind non-equilibrium plasmas associated with magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves are discussed. The main results are as follows: (1) The “apparent” temperature anisotropy associated with MHD waves corresponds to the magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium state (Alfven-Beltrami field), (2)Ion beams can be formed by the nonlinear steepening of the MHD waves propagating from the solar corona, (3)The low-frequency MHD waves are rapidly dissipated due to the presence of the beam-induced short-wavelength waves.

  • Study of particle acceleration processes at collisionless shocks via next-generation and first-principle particle simulations
    Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research
    2009 - 2011
    UMEDA Takayuki
    Large-scale two-dimensional full particle-in-cell simulations are carried out for studying non-stationarity of perpendicular shocks. It is confirmed that the persistence and absence of the self-reformation is controlled by micro-instabilities at the shock front. When electromagnetic whistler mode waves are strongly excited by the modified two-stream instability, both incoming and reflected ions are strongly scattered and the shock reformation becomes absent. On the other hand, when electrostatic waves are weakly excited or there is no micro-instabilities, reflected ions show a coherent behavior and the shock reformation is persistent. In this case, however, the reformation period is modified essentially due to the shock front ripples. The present simulation result suggests that the structure and dynamics of shocks are affected by the cross-scale coupling between electron-scale micro-instabilities and ion-scale shock-front ripples.

  • Study of geospace storms based on a new observation-based model of the inner magnetosphere

    A new self-consistent and kinetic model for ring current particles in the inner magnetosphere is presented. A closed set of nonlinear time evolution equations is derived that incorporates kinetic particle dynamics and self-consistent development of the electromagnetic field. The particle transport is described by a five-dimensional collisionless drift kinetic equation, in which particle trajectories are approximated by their guiding centers under the influence of a time-dependent electromagnetic field. The time evolution of the electromagnetic field follows the Maxwell equations with the feedback from particles through electric currents. A numerical simulation code solving the system of equations in a global inner magnetosphere in three spatial dimensions(or five dimensions in phase space) is developed. It is demonstrated that the propagation of low-frequency plasma waves can successfully be described by the developed model. It is also found that the self-consistent coupling could affect the transport of energetic particles especially at low energies as well as the intensity and spatial distribution of field-aligned currents. These preliminary results suggest the importance of the self-consistent coupling in the global development of geomagnetic storms. Our approach extends the capability of modeling storm time phenomena occurring in the inner magnetosphere. These include sudden commencements(SCs), substorms, and ULF waves, and other associated phenomena.

    We study numerical schemes for the first-principle Vlasov code as a second-next-generation computer simulation technique of space plasma. We developed numerical algorithms for solving the collisionless Boltzmann (Vlasov) equation which is a hyper-dimensional conservation law. The new simulation code is parallelized for scalar massively parallel computers and has achieved more than 80% parallel efficiency on more than 1,000 CPU cores. The new code is applied to various multi-scale processes in space plasma. The numerical results imply the existence of cross-scale coupling between fluid scale and particle scale.

    本年度の研究によって得られた以下の成果を国内・国際会議および学会誌に論文発表をしたとともに、膨大なデータの保存のためにハードディスク等を購入した。
    1.二次元及び、三次元電磁粒子コードにおいて、電流密度の計算を従来の方法より高速に行う計算アルゴリズムを開発し、コンピュータ科学雑誌に発表した。この手法を用いて、数値的熱雑音がより少なく計算効率の良い三次元電磁粒子コードを新たに開発した。
    2.従来電磁界を無視した静電粒子コードを用いて行われていた電子ビーム不安定性の計算機実験を、世界に先駆けて電磁粒子モデルへ拡張した。背景磁場と二次元構造を持つ静電孤立波の磁場に垂直な電界を受けて電子がE×Bドリフトすることにより二次元静電孤立波の垂直方向の端において電流が生じ、二次元静電孤立波の周辺に電磁界が励起することを明らかにした。また、計算機実験結果がオーロラ領域で観測されている静電孤立波に伴った電磁界成分の特性とよく一致していることを示した。さらに、孤立した静電ポテンシャル内において形成された電流構造が電磁波の放射源となり得るという新しい物理過程について明らかにした。これは、従来の電子ビームや連続的な波動からの直接的な電磁放射とは全く異なる物理過程であり、宇宙プラズマ物理のみならず、実験室プラズマや天体プラズマへの適応が可能な新たな電磁放射過程である。この成果を、2件の国内会議、国際測地学・地球物理学連合会札幌大会及びアメリカ地球物理学連合秋大会において研究発表を行い、論文としてJGR誌に発表した。また、上記の最新の結果を含む静電孤立波の国内外の研究に関して、実験室及び宇宙空間におけるプラズマ実験に関する国際研究集会において招待講演を行った。
