Homogeneous Fokker-Planck-Landau equation denoted by FPLE is studied for Coulombian and isotropic distribution function, i.e. when the distribution function depends only on time and on the modulus of the velocity. We derive a new conservative and entropy decaying semi-discretized FPLE for which we p
Numerical energy conservation in Fokker-Planck problems requires the energy moment of the Fokker-Planck equation to cancel exactly. However, standard discretization techniques not only do not observe this requirement (thus precluding exact energy conservation), but they also demand very refined mesh
We present fast numerical algorithms to solve the nonlinear Fokker-Planck-Landau equation in 3D velocity space. The discretization of the collision operator preserves the properties required by the physical nature of the Fokker-Planck-Landau equation, such as the conservation of mass, momentum, an
