Linearized model Fokker-Planck collision operators for gyrokinetic simulations. I. Theory

A new analytically and numerically manageable model collision operator is developed specifically for turbulence simulations. The like-particle collision operator includes both pitch-angle scattering and energy diffusion and satisfies the physical constraints required for collision operators: it cons...
