Energy release and conversion by reconnection in the magnetotail
Magnetic reconnection is the crucial process in the release of magnetic energy previously stored in the magnetotail in association with substorms. However, energy transfer and dissipation in the vicinity of the reconnection site is only a minor part of the energy conversion. We discuss the energy release, transport, and conversion based on largescale resistive MHD simulations of magnetotail dyn...
متن کاملOn mode conversion and wave reflection in magnetic Ap stars
We investigate the effect of a strong large scale magnetic field on the reflection of high frequency acoustic modes in rapidly oscillating Ap stars. To that end we consider a toy model composed of an isothermal atmosphere matched onto a polytropic interior and determine the numerical solution to the set of ideal magneto-hydrodynamic equations in a local plane-parallel approximation with constan...
متن کاملLower-Hybrid-Drift Wave Turbulence in the Distant Magnetotail
Recent satellite observations of electrostatic and magnetic noise in the distant magnetotail (Gurnett et al., 1976) can be explained by the excitation of the lower-hybrid-drift instability. In particular, it is shown that (1) existence conditions for the lower-hybrid-drift instability can be met, (2) the observed frequency spectra and polarization are in good agreement with the predictions of l...
متن کاملHeat to electricity thermoacoustic-magnetohydrodynamic conversion
In this work, a new concept for the conversion of heat into electricity is presented. The conversion is based on the combined effects of a thermoacoustic prime mover coupled with a magnetohydrodynamic generator, using different working fluids in each process. The results of preliminary experiments are also presented.
متن کاملMode conversion in the cochlea?
It is suggested that the frequency selectivity of the ear may be based on the phenomenon of mode conversion rather than critical layer resonance. The distinction is explained and supporting evidence discussed. PACS numbers: 43.64.Kc, 43.66.Ba
