Reduced drift-kinetics with thermal velocity distribution across magnetic field
Abstract
The goal of this study is to develop an approximate self-consistent description of particle motion in strongly magnetised solar corona. We derive a set of reduced drift-kinetic equations based on the assumption that the gyro-velocity distribution is Maxwellian. The equations are tested using simple 1D models.
