A procedure for implementing Coulomb collisions into hybrid (particle-fluid) plasma models is outlined which is rapid in execution due to the use of approximate expressions for the collision integrals and conserves energy and momentum exactly. Particles undergo dynamic friction and diffusion in velo

This paper reports a simple novel technique for the numerical simulation of hot collision-free plasmas. The method is termed Vlasov hybrid simulation (VHS). A time varying phase space simulation box and grid are defined, and the phase fluid within the box is filled with simulation particles. The dis
We present a numerical scheme for the integration of the Vlasov-Maxwell system of equations for a non-relativistic plasma, in the hybrid approximation, where the Vlasov equation is solved for the ion distribution function and the electrons are treated as a fluid. In the Ohm equation for the electric
