Kinetic Simulations of the Interruption of Large-Amplitude Shear-Alfvén Waves in a High-β Plasma.
Using two-dimensional hybrid-kinetic simulations, we explore the nonlinear "interruption" of standing and traveling shear-Alfvén waves in collisionless plasmas. Interruption involves a self-generated pressure anisotropy removing the restoring force of a linearly polarized Alfvénic perturbation, and occurs for wave amplitudes δB_{⊥}/B_{0}≳β^{-1/2} (where β is the ratio of thermal to magnetic pre...
متن کاملNonlinear excitation of acoustic modes by large-amplitude Alfvén waves in a laboratory plasma.
The nonlinear three-wave interaction process at the heart of the parametric decay process is studied by launching counterpropagating Alfvén waves from antennas placed at either end of the Large Plasma Device. A resonance in the beat wave response produced by the two launched Alfvén waves is observed and is identified as a damped ion acoustic mode based on the measured dispersion relation. Other...

متن کاملDamping of large-amplitude solitary waves
Soliton damping in weakly dissipative media has been studied for several decades, usually using the asymptotic theory of the slowly-varying solitary wave solution of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. Damping then occurs according to the energy balance equation, and a shelf is generated behind the soliton. Various examples of this process have been given by Ott & Sudan (1970) Pelinovsky (197...
