Test large scale plasma term
This procedure primarily discusses the computation of the Vlasov term and the Drift term within the RBG-Maxwell framework.
For detailed information regarding the specific structure and content of the program, please refer to Vlasov_Drifit_terms
- Firstly, import the required packages for the program:

The parameter ‘drifit_order’ can control the order of differentiation in the calculation. When ‘drifit_order’ is set to 1, the program performs first-order differentiation. When ‘drifit_order’ is set to 2, the program performs second-order differentiation.
