Yaglom16
Standard 2D PIC hybrid simulation of plasma turbulence in the plane perpendicular to the ambient magnetic field (Hellinger et al., ApJL, 2018).

Available products: B, Bx, By, Bz, Density, U, Ux, Uy, Uz

Coordinates

X and Y axes perpendicular to the ambient magnetic field.

Initial conditions

Initialization with (zero cross-helicity) large-scale Alvenic modes with dB_rms=0.25 B_0 and beta_i=beta_e=1/16.

Parameters

Grid: Nx=Ny= 2048 (subgrid of 4096^2); Time step: dt=0.0025/Omega_p. Cell size: dx=dy=0.125 d_p (double of 0.0625 d_p used in the simulation).
