A model of the bifurcated current sheet
[1] Recent Geotail and Cluster observations revealed that thin current sheets in the near-Earth tail may have a bifurcated structure. In some cases the electrons are found to dominate the current. We present a generalization of the Harris current sheet equilibrium, which reproduces these features. The model ion distribution contains an additional element, viz. the quasi-adiabatic invariant of t...
متن کاملCurrent density and forces for a current loop moving parallel over a thin conducting sheet
An analytical expression for the eddy current forces on a circular current loop moving with constant velocity over a thin conducting sheet is derived in this paper. This calculation is based on using the boundary conditions across the conducting sheet to solve for the total magnetic vector potential. The eddy currents in the sheet and the forces on the sheet are first presented in the ‘quasista...
متن کاملA model of the bifurcated current sheet: 2. Flapping motions
[1] A generalization of the Harris [1962] model has recently been proposed to explain the multi-spacecraft Cluster observations of thin bifurcated current sheets. It utilizes features of the ion motion in thin sheets and assumes anisotropy of the ion species. We report the results of 2D PIC simulations based on this model. Simulations confirm its self-consistency. They also reveal the lower-hyb...
متن کاملMHD surface type quasi-modes of a current sheet model
Resonantly damped surface type quasi-modes are computed as eigenmodes of the linear dissipative MHD equations for a simple equilibrium model of a current sheet. The current sheet is modeled by a nonuniform plasma layer embedded in a uniform plasma environment. The physical equilibrium variables change in a continuous way in the nonuniform plasma layer. In particular, this is the case with both ...
متن کاملAtmospheric Circulation of Hot Jupiters: A Review of Current Understanding
Hot Jupiters are new laboratories for the physics of giant planet atmospheres. Subject to unusual forcing conditions, the circulation regime on these planets may be unlike anything known in the Solar System. Characterizing the atmospheric circulation of hot Jupiters is necessary for reliable interpretation of the multifaceted data currently being collected on these planets. We discuss several f...
