Characteristic parameters of drift vortices coupled to Alfvén waves in an inhomogeneous space plasma.
We present detailed measurements of ion scale vortices of drift type coupled to Alfvén waves in an inhomogeneous and collisionless space magnetoplasma. The two free parameters of a dipolar vortex, intensity and spatial radius, are measured. The vortices are driven by a strong density gradient on a boundary layer with scale size of the same order as the vortex diameter. Observations of vortices ...
متن کاملTheory and Observations of Slow-Mode Solitons in Space Plasmas
125004-1 A generalized model for one-dimensional magnetosonic structures of large amplitude in space plasmas is presented. The model is verified with multipoint measurements on Cluster satellites in the magnetosheath and the boundary layer under conditions of plasma beta (plasma/magnetic pressure) between 0.1–10. We demonstrate good agreement between the model and observations of large amplitud...

متن کاملAdded Resistance & Drift Force Analysis in Regular and Irregular Waves
The sea wave causes excess resistance which is out of scope of calm water resistance. The total wave force in horizontal plane is divided into “Added Resistance” and “Drift Force”. In this study, based on Gerritsma and Beuckelman[3] hypothesis a computer program has been developed for calculation of added resistance and drift force at various ship speeds and various head...
متن کاملStimulated Emission of Fast Alfvén Waves within Magnetically Confined Fusion Plasmas.
A fast Alfvén wave with a finite amplitude is shown to grow by a stimulated emission process that we propose for exploitation in toroidal magnetically confined fusion plasmas. Stimulated emission occurs while the wave propagates inward through the outer midplane plasma, where a population inversion of the energy distribution of fusion-born ions is observed to arise naturally. Fully nonlinear fi...
