Abstract
In this work, we focus on the numerical approximation of a hybrid fluid-kinetic plasma model for electrons, in which energetic electrons are described by a Vlasov kinetic model whereas a fluid model is used for the cold population of electrons. First, we study the validity of this hybrid modeling in a two dimensional context (one dimension in space and one dimension in velocity) against the full (stiff) Vlasov kinetic model and second, a four dimensional configuration is considered (one dimension in space and three dimensions in velocity) following [1]. To do so, we consider two numerical Eulerian methods. The first one is based on the Hamiltonian structure of the hybrid system and the second approach, which is based on exponential integrators, enables to derive high order integrator and remove the CFL condition induced by the linear part. The efficiency of these methods, which are combined with an adaptive time stepping strategy, is discussed in the different configurations and in the linear and nonlinear regimes.
