Description
Based on the recent works published in 2014:
- Daldorff, L. K., Tóth, G., Gombosi, T. I., Lapenta, G., Amaya, J., Markidis, S., & Brackbill, J. U. (2014). Two-way coupling of a global Hall magnetohydrodynamics model with a local implicit particle-in-cell model. Journal of Computational Physics, 268, 236-254.
- Ashour‐Abdalla, M., Lapenta, G., Walker, R. J., El‐Alaoui, M., & Liang, H. (2015). Multiscale Study of Electron Energization during Unsteady Reconnection Events. Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics.
we report on the developments within CHRM of the methodology to couple fluid and kinetic codes. New developments in 2014-15 include the extension to 3D and the consideration of solar and astrophysics problems, besides magnetospheric problems developed in previous years.
We report also on the development of a new Lagrangian particle-based code for the fluid component that can more easily be coupled with the kinetic approach. With this approach both models, fluid and kinetic, will use computational particles whose properties will depend on the level of physical description.
The methodology and selected applications will be described.
