Kinetic simulations of magnetized turbulence in astrophysical plasmas.
This Letter presents the first ab initio, fully electromagnetic, kinetic simulations of magnetized turbulence in a homogeneous, weakly collisional plasma at the scale of the ion Larmor radius (ion gyroscale). Magnetic- and electric-field energy spectra show a break at the ion gyroscale; the spectral slopes are consistent with scaling predictions for critically balanced turbulence of Alfvén wave...
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...
متن کاملNeutral Vlasov kinetic theory of magnetized plasmas
The low-frequency limit of Maxwell equations is considered in the Maxwell-Vlasov system. This limit produces a neutral Vlasov system that captures essential features of plasma dynamics, while neglecting radiation effects. Euler-Poincaré reduction theory is used to show that the neutral Vlasov kinetic theory possesses a variational formulation in both Lagrangian and Eulerian coordinates. By cons...
متن کاملDarwin-Vlasov Simulations of magnetized Plasmas
We present a new Vlasov code for collisionless plasmas in the nonrelativistic regime. A Darwin approximation is used for suppressing electromagnetic vacuum modes. The spatial integration is based on an extension of the flux-conservative scheme, introduced by Filbet et al. [23]. Performance and accuracy is demonstrated by comparing it to a standard finite differences scheme for two test cases, i...
متن کاملVlasov-Maxwell kinetic simulations of radio-frequency-driven ion flows in magnetized plasmas.
The generation of a coherent ion flow due to the injection in a plasma of a purely electrostatic wave of finite amplitude, propagating at right angle with the ambient uniform magnetic field, is investigated making use of a kinetic code which solves the fully nonlinear Vlasov equations for electrons and ions, coupled with the Maxwell equations, in one spatial and two velocity dimensions. A unifo...
