Charge conserving grid based methods for the Vlasov-Maxwell equations

In [26] , in collaboration with P. Navaro (CNRS, Strasbourg) and E. Sonnendrücker (IPP Garching, Germany), In this article we introduce numerical schemes for the Vlasov-Maxwell equations relying on different kinds of grid based Vlasov solvers, as opposite to PIC schemes, that enforce a discrete continuity equation. The idea underlying this schemes relies on a time splitting scheme between configuration space and velocity space for the Vlasov equation and on the computation of the discrete current in a form that is compatible with the discrete Maxwell solver.
