Model Development
• Kinetic Modeling Framework
– df with evolving Maxwellian
– Simulation Particles or Chapman-Enskog-Like expansion
• Kinetic Modeling of Ions through Simulation Particles
– Heat flux and stress tensor computed from particle moments
• Kinetic Modeling of Electrons through CEL closure
– Basis functions used to solve gyro-averaged drift-kinetic equations
– Small parameter is the small parallel gradients
– Parallel integrations similar to simulation-particle tracking
