The vmf90 program for the numerical resolution of the Vlasov equation for mean-field systems

This program has been imported from the CPC Program Library held at Queen's University Belfast (1969-2018)

Abstract
The numerical resolution of the Vlasov equation provides complementary information with respect to analytical studies and forms an important research tool in domains such as plasma physics. The study of mean-field models for systems with long-range interactions is another field in which the Vlasov equation plays an important role. We present the vmf90 program that performs numerical simulations of the Vlasov equation for this class of mean-field models with the semi-Lagrangian method.

Title of program: vmf90
Catalogue Id: AESO_v1_0

Nature of problem
Numerical resolution of the Vlasov equation for mean-field models (Hamiltonian Mean-Field model and Single Wave model).

摘要
弗拉索夫方程（Vlasov equation）的数值求解可为解析研究提供补充信息，同时亦是等离子体物理等领域的关键研究工具。针对长程相互作用系统的平均场模型（mean-field model）的研究，是弗拉索夫方程发挥核心作用的另一重要领域。本文提出vmf90程序，该程序采用半拉格朗日方法（semi-Lagrangian method）针对此类平均场模型实现弗拉索夫方程的数值模拟。

程序名称：vmf90
目录编号：AESO_v1_0

问题性质
针对平均场模型（含哈密顿平均场模型（Hamiltonian Mean-Field model）与单波模型（Single Wave model））的弗拉索夫方程数值求解。
