A Gyrokinetic Electron Model for BSL6D — •Maximilian Pelkner — Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, Garching

The goal of numerical plasma physics is to understand the behaviour of plasmas numerically, since analytical tools for solving the underlying Vlasov equation are limited. Only in recent years has computing power increased to the point where fully kinetic simulations of plasmas, i.e. simulations of the full phase space, are within reach. The BSL6D code is an example of such a "fully kinetic" code, but for computational reasons it so far simulates only fully kinetic ions with adiabatic electrons. The main goal of my work is to improve the simulation by implementing a drift kinetic electron model. In my poster I will present the principle of BSL6D, how the electron model will be implemented and also some comparisons between the code and existing analytical solutions (e.g. Ion Sound Wave).
