Analysis of Stochastic Differential Equations in Galactic Cosmic Ray Particle Transport

Project Description:

The objective of this project is to perform a comprehensive comparative analysis of numerical methods used for the strong order integration of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) in the context of the non-stationary Parker transport equation (PTE). The PTE, a Fokker-Planck type equation, describes the non-stationary transport of galactic cosmic ray (GCR) particles in the heliosphere, encompassing three spatial coordinates, particle energy, and time.
