Multiscale Splitting Method for the Boltzmann-Poisson Equation: Application to the Dynamics of Electrons

We present a model based on dynamics of electrons in a plasma using a simplified Boltzmann equation coupled with Poisson’s equation. The motivation arose from simulating active plasma resonance spectroscopy, which is used for plasma diagnostic techniques; see Braithwaite and Franklin (2009), Lapke e...
