1D-1V Vlasov-Poisson Simulations of Mutual Impedance Experiments for Strong Antenna Emission Amplitudes

This dataset contains the outputs of numerical simulations performed to assess the impact of strong antenna emission amplitudes on the diagnostic performance of mutual impedance experiments. In the case of small emission amplitudes, the plasma response to the emission is linear. In the case of large emission amplitude, instead, non-linear wave-wave and wave-particle interactions are triggered. Using the outputs contained in this dataset, we investigated how such wave-wave and wave-particle interactions perturb mutual impedance experiments.

Numerical model:
The outputs are obtained from a numerical model based on the solution of the 1D-1V Vlasov-Poisson system of equations. The scheme used to solve the model is the one developed by Mangeney, et al. (2002). A Numerical Scheme for the Integration of the Vlasov-Maxwell System of Equations. Journal of Computational Physics, (doi: https://doi.org/10.1006/jcph.2002.7071). The 1D-1V Vlasov-Poisson version of this model is described in Henri, et al. (2010), Vlasov-Poisson simulations of electrostatic parametric instability for localized Langmuir wave packets in the solar wind, Journal of Geophysical Research (Space Physics), 115, 6106 (doi: https://doi.org/10.1029/2009JA014969 ) .
