  • Miscellaneous

Numerical Tools: 

• • Fluid: BATS-R-US multifluid MHD code, Gkeyll 5-moment/10-moment fluid code, M-GITM code, openGGCM code.

  • Kinetic: test-particle code, OSIRIS PIC code, PSC PIC code, Tristan-MP PIC code, FLEKS Semi-Implicit PIC code, LANL hybrid-PIC code, Gkeyll Vlasov-Maxwell code.

In addition, I have previously conducted research on the following topics.

• • Physical Oceanography --- spin-up of the Ekman layer within the context of stratification;

  • Analytical Theory of Nonlinear Differential Equation --- The Differential Form Method for Finding Symmetries (Here is an interesting paper: B. Kent Harrison SIGMA 1 (2005), 001, 12 pages);
