The homogeneous Fokker-Planck-Landau equation is investigated for Coulombic potential and isotropic distribution function, i.e., when the distribution function depends only on time and on the modulus of the velocity. We derive a conservative and entropy decaying semidiscretized Landau equation for w
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
