Query: Hybrid (kinetic-fluid) simulation scheme based on method of
  characteristics   Certain features of the method of characteristics are of considerable
interest in relation with Vlasov simulation [H. Abbasi {\it et al}, Phys. Rev.
E \textbf{84}, 036702 (2011)]. A Vlasov simulation scheme of this kind can be
recurrence free providing initial phase points in velocity space are set
randomly. Naturally, less filtering of fine-structures (arising from grid
spacing) is possible as there is now a smaller scale than the grid spacing that
is average distance between two phase points. Its interpolation scheme is very
simple in form and carried out with less operations. In our previous report,
the simplest model (immobile ions) was considered to merely demonstrate the
important features. Now, a hybrid model is introduced that solves the coupled
Vlasov-Fluid-Poisson system self-consistently. A possible application of the
code is the study of ion-acoustic (IA) soliton attributes. To this end, a
collisionless plasma with hot electrons and cold positive ions is considered.
For electrons, the collisionless Vlasov equation is solved by following
collisionless phase point trajectories in phase space while ions obey the fluid
equations. The periodic boundary conditions are assumed. Both, the
characteristic equations of the Vlasov equation and the fluid equations are
solved using the Leapfrog-Trapezoidal method. However, to obtain the first
half-time step of the Leapfrog, the Euler-Trapezoidal scheme, is employed. The
presented scheme conveniently couples the two well-known grids in the Leapfrog
method. The first test of the model is an stationary IA soliton. Trapping of
electrons is considered and the associated phase space hole is shown. Then as a
non-stationary test, the IA soliton generation from a localized initial profile
is examined. Conservation laws are the other benchmark tests.
