Kinetic interchange advection cancellation
ID: kinetic-interchange-advection-cancellation
In the steep-gradient, low-plasma beta limit of kinetic magnetohydrodynamics, magnetic induction gives and . Therefore the forcing of the drift-kinetic equation is . It cancels the streaming operator on , leaving no leading kinetic phase mixing on this displacement branch. Freezing the parallel derivative to the equilibrium direction would lose this cancellation.
