Instability of ion kinetic waves in a weakly ionized plasma.
The fundamental higher-order Landau plasma modes are known to be generally heavily damped. We show that these modes for the ion component in a weakly ionized plasma can be substantially modified by ion-neutral collisions and a dc electric field driving ion flow so that some of them can become unstable. This instability is expected to naturally occur in presheaths of gas discharges at sufficient...
متن کاملAnalytical study of the propagation of acoustic waves in a 1D weakly disordered lattice
This paper presents an analytical approach of the propagation of an acoustic wave through a normally distributed disordered lattice made up of Helmholtz resonators connected to a cylindrical duct. This approach allows to determine analytically the exact transmission coefficient of a weakly disordered lattice. Analytical results are compared to a wellknown numerical method based on a matrix prod...
متن کاملPhenomenological Analysis of Shock-Wave Propagation in Weakly Ionized Plasmas
Shock propagation into weakly ionized gases shows several features differing markedly from conventional, nonionized-gas shock structure. Phenomenological analysis of general macroscopic features of the previously observed plasma shock effects allows only two possible interpretations: existence of an energy (momentum) flux toward the wave precursor or volumetric energy release (exothermic phase ...
متن کاملEnergy flux of Alfvén waves in weakly ionized plasma
Context. The overshooting convective motions in the solar photosphere, resulting in the foot point motion of different magnetic structures in the solar atmosphere, are frequently proposed as the source for the excitation of Alfvén waves, which are assumed to propagate towards the chromosphere and corona resulting finally in the heating of these layers by the dissipation of this wave energy. How...
متن کاملTurbulent Diffusion of Magnetic Fields in Weakly Ionized Gas
The diffusion of uni-directional magnetic fields by two dimensional turbulent flows in a weakly ionized gas is studied. The fields here are orthogonal to the plane of fluid motion. This simple model arises in the context of the decay of the mean magnetic flux to mass ratio in the interstellar medium. When ions are strongly coupled to neutrals, the transport of a large–scale magnetic field is dr...
