Low-frequency linear waves and instabilities in uniform and stratified plasmas: the role of kinetic effects
We review the basic approximations underlying magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) theory, with special emphasis on the closure approximations, i.e. the approximations used in any fluid approach to close the hierarchy of moment equations. We then present the main closure models that have been constructed for collisionless plasmas in the large-scale regime, and we describe our own mixed MHD-kinetic model, ...
متن کاملLangevin representation of Coulomb collisions for bi-Maxwellian plasmas
Langevin model corresponding to the Fokker-Planck equation for bi-Maxwellian particle distribution functions is developed. Rosenbluth potentials and their derivatives are derived in the form of triple hypergeometric functions. The Langevin model is tested in the case of relaxation of the proton temperature anisotropy and implemented into the hybrid expanding box model. First results of this cod...
متن کاملFilamentation instability of counterstreaming laser-driven plasmas.
Filamentation due to the growth of a Weibel-type instability was observed in the interaction of a pair of counterstreaming, ablatively driven plasma flows, in a supersonic, collisionless regime relevant to astrophysical collisionless shocks. The flows were created by irradiating a pair of opposing plastic (CH) foils with 1.8 kJ, 2-ns laser pulses on the OMEGA EP Laser System. Ultrafast laser-dr...
متن کاملNonlinear model for magnetosonic shocklets in plasmas
Abstract Exact nonlinear equations for magnetosonic shocklets in a uniform hot magnetoplasma are derived by using the nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic equations. Analytic as well as numerical solutions of the nonlinear equations are presented. Shock-like structures of the ion fluid velocity and magnetic field (or the plasma density) perturbations are obtained. The results may have relevance to the...
متن کاملLinear Theory of Temperature Anisotropy Instabilities in Magnetized Thermal Pair Plasmas
A rigorous study of the dispersion relations of weakly amplified and weakly propagating transverse fluctuations with wave vectors ( k B ) parallel to the uniform background magnetic field B in an anisotropic bi-Maxwellian magnetized pair plasma is presented. Earlier work, based on the weakly-amplified limit, is extended to the case of weakly propagating solutions, which includes in particular a...
