Nonlinear electron magnetohydrodynamics physics. III. Electron energization
Wave-particle interactions of low-frequency whistler modes with wave magnetic fields exceeding the ambient field are investigated experimentally. These highly nonlinear modes are excited with magnetic loop antennas in a large magnetized afterglow plasma. While the nonlinear wave properties are described elsewhere, the present paper focuses on the modification of the electron distribution functi...
متن کاملElectron temperature gradient turbulence.
The first toroidal, gyrokinetic, electromagnetic simulations of small scale plasma turbulence are presented. The turbulence considered is driven by gradients in the electron temperature. It is found that electron temperature gradient (ETG) turbulence can induce experimentally relevant thermal losses in magnetic confinement fusion devices. For typical tokamak parameters, the transport is essenti...
متن کاملPlankton dynamics and mesoscale turbulence
In aquatic ecosystems, primary production (the transformation of inorganic materials and light into living matter by photosynthesis) is operated mainly by small, unicellular algae that float freely in the upper layers of oceans and lakes and are collectively called phytoplankton, see for an illustration the phytoplankters depicted in figure 1. Since phytoplankton need light, they are confined t...
متن کاملSimulations of Electron Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
We present numerical simulations of electron magnetohydrodynamic (EMHD) and electron reduced MHD (ERMHD) turbulence. Comparing scaling relations, we find that both EMHD and ERMHD turbulence show similar spectra and anisotropy. We develop new techniques to study anisotropy of EMHD turbulence. Our detailed study of anisotropy of EMHD turbulence supports our earlier result of k‖ ∝ k ⊥ scaling, whe...
متن کاملElectron temperature gradient driven turbulence*
Collisionless electron-temperature-gradient-driven ~ETG! turbulence in toroidal geometry is studied via nonlinear numerical simulations. To this aim, two massively parallel, fully gyrokinetic Vlasov codes are used, both including electromagnetic effects. Somewhat surprisingly, and unlike in the analogous case of ion-temperature-gradient-driven ~ITG! turbulence, we find that the turbulent electr...
