Kelvin–Helmholtz instability in strongly coupled dusty plasma with rotational shear flows and tracer transport

چکیده
Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability plays a significant role in transport and mixing properties of any medium. In this paper, we numerically explore for two-dimensional strongly coupled dusty plasma with rotational shear flows. We study medium using generalized hydrodynamic fluid model which treats it as viscoelastic fluid. consider the specific cases rotating vorticity abrupt radial profiles rotation. particular: single-circulation, multi-circulation shell have been chosen. observe KH vortices at each circular interface between two relative flows along pair ingoing outgoing wavefronts transverse waves. Our studies show that due to interplay waves medium, behaviour are much better than inviscid fluids. interests substantiating behaviour, is extended include Lagrangian tracer particles. The numerical dispersion these particles flow provides an estimate diffusion such present preliminary observations tracers distribution (cluster formation) their (mean square displacement) across

Mobility in a strongly coupled dusty plasma with gas.
The mobility of a charged projectile in a strongly coupled dusty plasma is simulated. A net force F, opposed by a combination of collisional scattering and gas friction, causes projectiles to drift at a mobility-limited velocity up. The mobility μp=up/F of the projectile's motion is obtained. Two regimes depending on F are identified. In the high-force regime, μp∝F0.23, and the scattering cross...
متن کاملDiagnostics for transport phenomena in strongly coupled dusty plasmas
Experimental methods are described for determining transport coefficients in a strongly coupled dusty plasma. A dusty plasma is a mixture of electrons, ions and highly charged microspheres. Due to their large charges, the microspheres are a strongly coupled plasma, and they arrange themselves like atoms in a crystal or liquid. Using a video microscopy diagnostic, with laser illumination and a h...
متن کاملSolid superheating observed in two-dimensional strongly coupled dusty plasma.
It is demonstrated experimentally that strongly coupled plasma exhibits solid superheating. A 2D suspension of microspheres in dusty plasma, initially self-organized in a solid lattice, was heated and then cooled rapidly by turning laser heating on and off. Particles were tracked using video microscopy, allowing atomistic-scale observation during melting and solidification. During rapid heating...
متن کاملEffect of magnetic field on Jeans instability of self gravitating strongly coupled dusty plasma
The effect of the magnetic field on the Jeans instability of self-gravitating strongly coupled dusty plasma is investigated. The medium consists of extremely massive, negatively charged strongly correlated dust grains and weakly correlated Boltzmann distributed electrons and ions. The basic equations of the problem are constructed using generalized hydrodynamic model. In deriving dispersion rel...
متن کاملIdeal gas behavior of a strongly coupled complex (dusty) plasma.
In a laboratory, a two-dimensional complex (dusty) plasma consists of a low-density ionized gas containing a confined suspension of Yukawa-coupled plastic microspheres. For an initial crystal-like form, we report ideal gas behavior in this strongly coupled system during shock-wave experiments. This evidence supports the use of the ideal gas law as the equation of state for soft crystals such as...
