The fastVFP code for solution of the Vlasov–Fokker–Planck equation

Abstract

Abstract We describe the fastVFP code for solution of the Vlasov–Fokker–Planck equation for non-local electron transport and the generation of magnetic field, especially for application to laser-produced plasmas. We describe the essential features of the code that make it fast and robust and suitable for inclusion as a transport package in a fluid simulation. We present a few sample results that demonstrate the abilities of the code.
