Thermal Instability in Clusters of Galaxies with Conduction
We consider a model of galaxy clusters in which the hot gas is in hydrostatic equilibrium and maintains energy balance between radiative cooling and heating by thermal conduction. We analyze the thermal stability of the gas using a Lagrangian perturbation analysis. For thermal conductivity at the level of ∼ 20 − 40% of Spitzer conductivity, consistent with previous estimates for cluster gas, we...
متن کاملLangmuir wave self-focusing versus decay instability
Electron trapping in a finite amplitude Langmuir wave (LW) leads to a frequency shift, ∆ωTP < 0 , and reduced Landau damping. These may lead to modulational instability. Its growth rate and damping threshold, due to escape of trapped electrons at rate ν, are calculated for the first time in the short wavelength regime. If the background plasma is in thermal equilibrium, it is shown that this tr...
متن کاملThe thermal self-focusing instability near the critical surface in the high-latitude ionosphere
A fully nonlinear development of the thermal self-focusing instability of high power radio waves in the ionosphere in the region near the critical surface is the subject of the present study. In the simulation model studied, a high-powered radio wave in the frequency range 510 MHz, with a 1% amplitude modulation, is launched vertically. In the high latitude geometry this represents a direction ...
متن کاملThe Role of Thermal Conduction in Accretion Disks with Outflows
In this work we solve the set of hydrodynamical equations for accretion disks in the spherical coordinates (r,θ,ϕ) to obtain the explicit structure along θ direction. We study a two-dimensional advective accretion disc in the presence of thermal conduction. We find self-similar solutions for an axisymmetric, rotating, steady, viscous-resistive disk. We show that the global structure of an advec...
متن کاملInstability of the Ionospheric Plasma: Modeling and Analysis
This paper is concerned with the theory and modeling of plasma instabilities in the ionosphere. We first consider the so-called ’striation model’ which consists of balance equations for the density and momenta of the plasma species, coupled with an elliptic equation for the potential. The linearized instability of this model is analyzed in the framework of Fourier theory, both for smooth and di...
