## Abstract

The goal of this study is to develop an approximate self-consistent description of particle motion in strongly magnetised solar corona. We derive a set of reduced drift-kinetic equations based on the assumption that the gyro-velocity distribution is Maxwellian. The equations are tested using simple 1D models.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
