Magnetorotational Turbulence and Dynamo in a Collisionless Plasma.
We present results from the first 3D kinetic numerical simulation of magnetorotational turbulence and dynamo, using the local shearing-box model of a collisionless accretion disk. The kinetic magnetorotational instability grows from a subthermal magnetic field having zero net flux over the computational domain to generate self-sustained turbulence and outward angular-momentum transport. Signifi...
متن کاملGlobal scale-invariant dissipation in collisionless plasma turbulence.
A higher-order multiscale analysis of the dissipation range of collisionless plasma turbulence is presented using in situ high-frequency magnetic field measurements from the Cluster spacecraft in a stationary interval of fast ambient solar wind. The observations, spanning five decades in temporal scales, show a crossover from multifractal intermittent turbulence in the inertial range to non-Gau...
متن کاملNonlinear saturation of collisionless trapped electron mode turbulence: zonal flows and zonal density
Gyrokinetic δf particle simulation is used to investigate the nonlinear saturation mechanisms in collisionless trapped electron mode (CTEM) turbulence. It is found that the importance of zonal flow is parameter sensitive and is well characterized by the shearing rate formula. The effect of zonal flow is empirically found to be sensitive to temperature ratio, magnetic shear and electron temperat...
متن کاملNew Characteristics of Zonal Flows in Multi-scale Plasma Turbulence
The evolution of multi-scale plasma turbulence including resistive MHD and micro-instability is studied based on a 5-field gyrofluid simulation aiming to understand complex nonlinear interaction and turbulent transport. Here we report two new findings on the zonal flow (ZF) characteristics: (1) A robust oscillatory ZF with finite frequency is created in slab geometry for the first time due to t...
متن کاملNonextensive Entropy Approach to Space Plasma Fluctuations and Turbulence
Spatial intermittency in fully developed turbulence is an established feature of astrophysical plasma fluctuations and in particular apparent in the interplanetary medium by in situ observations. In this situation the classical Boltzmann-Gibbs extensive thermo-statistics, applicable when microscopic interactions and memory are short ranged and the environment is a continuous and differentiable ...
