Finite Larmor Radius Effects to Arbitrary Order
A representation of a finite Larmor radius plasma is proposed, which permits the transition rL → ∞ without becoming mathematically ill-posed. It is being used in a two-dimensional guiding center plasma spectral code and may have useful analytical applications. The ions are represented as guiding centers and the Larmor radius is averaged analytically for every Fourier-mode.
Finite Larmor radius densities and velocities are thus obtained from guiding center quantities by application of a filter in wave vector space.
