متن کاملNonlinear current-driven ion-acoustic instability driven by phase-space structures
The nonlinear stability of current-driven ion-acoustic waves in collisionless electron-ion plasmas is analyzed. Seminal simulations from the 80’s are revisited. Accurate numerical treatment shows that subcritical instabilities do not grow from an ensemble of waves, except very close to marginal stability and for large initial amplitudes. Further from marginal stability, one isolated phase-space...
متن کاملThe Nonlinear Evolution of Instabilities Driven by Magnetic Buoyancy: a New Mechanism for the Formation of Coherent Magnetic Structures
Motivated by the problem of the formation of active regions from a deep-seated solar magnetic field, we consider the nonlinear three-dimensional evolution of magnetic buoyancy instabilities resulting from a smoothly stratified horizontal magnetic field. By exploring the case for which the instability is continuously driven we have identified a new mechanism for the formation of concentrations o...
متن کاملLagrangian Coherent Structures in a Nonlinear Dynamo
Turbulence and chaos play a fundamental role in stellar convective zones through the transport of particles, energy and momentum, and in fast dynamos, through the stretching, twisting and folding of magnetic flux tubes. A particularly revealing way to describe turbulent motions is through the analysis of Lagrangian coherent structures (LCS), which are material lines or surfaces that act as tran...
متن کاملDiscovering Coherent Structures in Nonlinear Spatial Systems
A synthesis of elementary computation and dynamical system theories leads to a constructive approach to discovering coherent structures in spatial systems and to quantifying a pattern’s complexity. The basic technique reviewed here builds probabilistic automata from temporal and spatial data series generated by a simple nonlinear spatial system. In this way, a given pattern’s unpredictability a...
