Geometric dissipation in kinetic equations (Q2381997)

In this note a new symplectic variational approach for modeling dissipation in kinetic equations based upon a double bracket structure in phase space is developed. The authors focused their approach on the Vlasov example and found that the Vlasov case allows single-particle solutions, provided the mobility in the dissipation is a functional of the phase space distribution function. Moreover, the authors show that how their approach recovers a non-local form of Darcy's law by using the Kupershmidt-Manin structure for kinetic moments.
