Preferential Acceleration of Coherent Magnetic Structures and Bursty Bulk Flows in Earth’s Magnetotail
Observations indicate that the magnetotail convection is turbulent and bi-modal, consisting of fast bursty bulk flows (BBF) and a nearly stagnant background. We demonstrate that this observed phenomenon may be understood in terms of the intermittent interactions, dynamic mergings and preferential accelerations of coherent magnetic structures under the influence of a background magnetic field ge...
متن کاملDriven reconnection and bursty bulk flows
The energetics of driven magnetic reconnections induced by the deformation of the magnetopause boundary due to the solar wind-magnetosphere interaction are studied. The bursty type reconnection ensues due to the forcing of the magnetopause boundary by the solar wind. For typical plasma parameters in the inner central plasma sheet (ICPS), the magnetic energy release during the reconnection is es...
متن کاملComplexity, Forced And/or Self-organized Criticality, and Topological Phase Transitions in Space Plasmas
The first definitive observation that provided convincing evidence indicating certain turbulent space plasma processes are in states of “complexity” was the discovery of the apparent power-law probability distribution of solar flare intensities. Recent statistical studies of complexity in space plasmas came from the AE index, UVI auroral imagery, and in-situ measurements related to the dynamics...
متن کاملTracking Attracting Lagrangian Coherent Structures in Flows
This paper presents a collaborative control strategy designed to enable a team of robots to track attracting Lagrangian coherent structures (LCS) and unstable manifolds in two-dimensional flows. Tracking LCS in dynamical systems is important for many applications such as planning energy optimal paths in the ocean and predicting various physical and biological processes in the ocean. Similar to ...
متن کاملExact Coherent Structures in Turbulent Shear Flows
Exact coherent structures are three-dimensional, nonlinear traveling wave solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. These solutions are typically unstable from onset, yet they capture the basic statistical and structural features of low Reynolds number turbulent shear flows remarkably well. These exact coherent structures have now been found in all canonical shear flows: plane Couette, Poiseuil...
