The UGKWP method extends to multi-species gas mixture and multiscale plasma transport, with properties of capturing non-equilibrium flow physics at kinetic mean free path scale and transitioning to Euler, Navier-Stokes, and MHD at hydrodynamic scale. The scheme automatically reduces degrees of freedom with decreasing Knudsen number, providing a smooth transition from PIC method to MHD solver. Numerical tests verify its multiscale and asymptotic complexity diminishing properties.
In this paper, we extend the unified gas-kinetic wave-particle (UGKWP) methods to the multi-species gas mixture and multiscale plasma transport. The construction of the scheme is based on the direct modeling on the mesh size and time step scales, and the local cell's Knudsen number determines the flow physics. The proposed scheme has the multiscale and asymptotic complexity diminishing properties. The multiscale property means that according to the cell's Knudsen number the scheme can capture the non-equilibrium flow physics when the cell size is on the kinetic mean free path scale, and preserve the asymptotic Euler, Navier-Stokes, and magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) when the cell size is on the hydrodynamic scale and is much larger than the particle mean free path. The asymptotic complexity diminishing property means that the total degrees of freedom of the scheme reduce automatically with the decreasing of the cell's Knudsen number. In the continuum regime, the scheme automatically degenerates from a kinetic solver to a hydrodynamic solver. In the UGKWP, the evolution of microscopic velocity distribution is coupled with the evolution of macroscopic variables, and the particle evolution as well as the macroscopic fluxes is modeled from a time accumulating solution of kinetic scale particle transport and collision up to a time step scale. For plasma transport, the current scheme provides a smooth transition from particle-in-cell (PIC) method in the rarefied regime to the magnetohydrodynamic solver in the continuum regime. In the continuum limit, the cell size and time step of the UGKWP method are not restricted by the particle mean free path and mean collision time. In the highly magnetized regime, the cell size and time step are not restricted by the Debye length and plasma cyclotron period. The multiscale and asymptotic complexity diminishing properties of the scheme are verified by numerical tests in multiple flow regimes.
