Instabilities and vortex dynamics in shear flow of magnetized plasmas
Gradient-driven instabilities and the subsequent nonlinear evolution of generated vortices in sheared E X B flows are investigated for magnetized plasmas with and without gravity (magnetic curvature) and magnetic shear by using theory and implicit particle simulations. In the linear eigenmode analysis, the instabilities considered are the Kelvin-Helmholtz (K-H) instability and the resistive int...
متن کاملVortex interactions in magnetized plasmas
Current-vortex filament solutions to the twofluid plasma equations that describe drift-Alfvén waves are presented. Such filament systems are Hamiltonian. Integrable three and four filament systems are discussed in some detail. A wide variety of orbit topologies exists in the plasma case. Special attention is paid to collapses where all filaments contract to a single point. The differences and e...
متن کاملTurbulent cascade in vortex dynamics of magnetized pure electron plasmas.
Elementary processes in free-decaying two-dimensional (2D) turbulence are examined by extensive analyses of fine structures in the density distribution of a magnetized pure electron plasma that is linearly unstable with the initial ring-shaped profile, deforms nonlinearly into patches of vortices, and relaxes into a single-peaked stable distribution via successive mergers among the patches. The...
متن کاملScattering and Modulational Instabilities in Magnetized Plasmas
The decay of a high-frequency wave into a scattered and an electrostatic wave is investigated for a homogeneous magnetized plasma. For wave propagation in arbitrary directions, an equation for the scattered wave is obtained accounting for the effect of the non-linear current density produced by the three-wave interaction process. As an illustration, the propagation of electromagnetic waves perp...
متن کاملParametric instabilities in magnetized multicomponent plasmas.
This paper investigates the excitation of various natural modes in a magnetized bi-ion or dusty plasma. The excitation is provided by parametrically pumping the magnetic field. Here two ionlike species are allowed to be fully mobile. This generalizes our previous work where the second heavy species was taken to be stationary. Their collection of charge from the background neutral plasma modifie...
