Plasma physics (vp.plasma)
A Vlasov-Poisson solver that measures the Landau damping rate of a Langmuir wave.
The rate is compared with the root of the plasma dispersion relation.
Part of the distribution vipyr-plasma; it runs from a checkout of the
repository. Planned on PyPI as pip install vipyr[plasma].
Functions
-
vp.plasma.landau - Landau damping of a Langmuir wave, computed from the Vlasov-Poisson equations and checked against the exact root of the dispersion relation.
