Simulating the Chiral Magnetic Wave in a Box System

Understand

The chiral magnetic wave from the interplay between the chiral magnetic effect and the chiral separation effect is simulated in a box system with the periodic boundary condition based on the chiral kinetic equations of motion.

• Simulation results are compared with available limits from theoretical derivations, and effects of the temperature, the magnetic field, and the specific shear viscosity on the key properties of the chiral magnetic wave are discussed.
• Our study serves as a baseline for further simulations of chiral anomalies in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.
