Numerical solution to the Vlasov equation: The 2D code Original Research Article

The present code solves the two-dimensional Vlasov equation for a periodic in space system, in presence of an external magnetic field BO. The self coherent electric field given by Poisson equation is computed by Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The output of the code consist of a list of diagnostics, such as total mass conservation, total momentum and energies, and of projections of the distribution function in different subspaces as the x-vx space, the x-y space and so on.
