kinetic particle simulations cell scale

Research gap analysis derived from 2 physics papers in our local library.

The gap

Current work employs global MHD approach; confrontation with kinetic or particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations is needed to explore small-scale physics beyond the MHD framework.; The study uses 2.5D fully kinetic particle-in-cell simulations; extension to full 3D simulations and comparison with observational data from magnetopause measurements is needed to validate findings.
