- W4285050008 abstract "Collisionless plasmas exhibit nonthermal particle distributions after being energized; as a consequence, they enter a state of low Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) entropy relative to the thermal state. The Vlasov equations predict that in a collisionless plasma with closed boundaries, BG entropy is formally conserved, along with an infinite set of Casimir invariants; this provides a seemingly strong constraint that may explain how plasmas maintain low entropy. Nevertheless, it is commonly believed that entropy production is enabled by phase mixing or nonlinear entropy cascades. The question of whether such anomalous entropy production occurs, and of how to characterize it quantitatively, is a fundamental problem in plasma physics. We construct a new theoretical framework for characterizing entropy production (in a generalized sense) based on ideally conserved dimensional quantities derived from the Casimir invariants; these are referred to as ``Casimir momenta'' and they generalize BG entropy. The growth of Casimir momenta relative to the average particle momentum indicates entropy production. We apply this framework to quantify entropy production in particle-in-cell simulations of laminar flows and turbulent flows driven in relativistic plasma, where efficient nonthermal particle acceleration is enabled. We demonstrate that a large amount of anomalous entropy is produced by turbulence despite nonthermal features. These results have implications for reduced modeling of nonthermal particle acceleration and for diagnosing irreversible dissipation in collisionless plasmas such as the solar wind and Earth's magnetosphere. Dimensional representations of generalized entropy analogous to Casimir momenta may be useful for other problems in statistical physics." @default.
