Solving the guiding-center model on a regular hexagonal mesh*

This paper introduces a Semi-Lagrangian solver for the Vlasov-Poisson equations on a uniform hexagonal mesh. The latter is composed of equilateral triangles, thus it doesn’t contain any singularities, unlike polar meshes. We focus on the guiding-center model, for which...
