    Abstract
    A unified, fast, and effective approach is developed for numerical calculation of the well-known plasma dispersion function with extensions from Maxwellian distribution to almost arbitrary distribution functions, such as the $\delta$, flat top, triangular, $\kappa$ or Lorentzian, slowing down, and incomplete Maxwellian distributions. The singularity and analytic continuation problems are also solved generally. Given that the usual conclusion $\gamma\propto\partial f_0/\partial v$ is only a rough approximation when discussing the distribution function effects on Landau damping, this approach provides a useful tool for rigorous calculations of the linear wave and instability properties of plasma for general distribution functions. The results are also verified via a linear initial value simulation approach. Intuitive visualizations of the generalized plasma dispersion function are also provided.

    4. Landau Damping Simulation Models
    Hua-sheng Xie, IFTS-ZJU, huashengxie@gmail.com

    Abstract:
    Several models for Landau damping simulations are provided: the simplest linear model, particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation and Vlasov continuity simulation as well as the discussions of the numerical aspects of the dispersion relation.

    I hope this tutorial can be useful for beginners to understand the basic physics and numerical methods in plasma physics. It can be used for the undergraduate or graduate courses such as "Introduction to Plasma Physics" or "Computational Plasma Physics". And, it can also be the start point of your researches.

    This version of the tutorial (notes and codes) was presented at Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.

    You can modified/improved them for your own usages. But, you should keep the copyright information. This statement also holds for many of my other codes.

    Abstract
    A general, fast, and effective approach is developed for numerical calculation of kinetic plasma dispersion relations. The plasma dispersion function is approximated by J-pole expansion. Subsequently, the dispersion relation is transformed to a standard matrix eigenvalue problem of an equivalent linear system. The result is accurate for J = 8 except the solutions that are the little interesting heavily damped modes. In contrast to conventional approaches, such as Newton¡¯s iterative method, this approach can give either all the solutions in the system or a few solutions around the initial guess. It is also free from convergent problems. The approach is demonstrated from electrostatic one-dimensional and three-dimensional dispersion relations, to electromagnetic kinetic magnetized plasma dispersion relation for bi-Maxwellian distribution with parallel velocity drift.

    Subject: FYI: PDRK - General Kinetic Dispersion Relation Solver

    Dear, Boys/Girls/Sir/Madam,

    I send this to you in case you are interested in it (if not, just ignore it). The manuscript and source code can be found on arXiv (http://arxiv.org/abs/1410.2678). See 'Other formats ' for the source code: [ Download source ] , and rename it to '*.tar' and then decompress it.

    This is a successor of the general multi-fluid solver PDRF (arXiv:1305.1205 or Computer Physics Communications, 2014, 185, 670 - 675). The basic idea of them was mentioned in arXiv:1304.5885 .

    PDRK includes all the basic kinetic effects (Landau damping, FLR and so on) and can be accurate for the benchmark of PIC or Vlasov solvers. So, I think it would be more useful than PDRF.

    Further comments and suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

    Best,

    Hua-sheng XIE

    8. PPLU (Plasma Physics Learning Utility) is developed to help beginners to learn and understand the forth state of matter (plasma) more easily and interested with several modules. However, I may not update it anymore.



  8. shafeq

    9. 'Shafeq' is written for GTC to include shifted circular tokamak equilibrium. However, you can modify it for other useages following the document 'shafeq.pdf'.

    I haven't tested the part 'Reading data from TRANSP'. If you need this capability, you should check it yourself.
