Energy Cascades in a Partially Ionized Astrophysical Plasma

A local turbulence model is developed to study energy cascades in the interstellar medium (ISM) based on self-consistent two-dimensional fluid simulations. The model describes a partially ionized magnetofluid interstellar medium (ISM) that couples a neutral hydrogen fluid with a plasma primarily through charge exchange interactions. Charge exchange interactions are ubiquitous in warm ISM plasma...

Plasma rotation effects on neoclassical tearing modes

The effect of an equilibrium sheared ow on the nonlinear evolution of a neoclassical tearing mode is investigated by estimating the inuence it has on the inner and outer layer dynamics of the mode. Two complementary approaches are adopted. A generalized Rutherford model calculation is carried out to estimate the ow contributions to the polarization current term in the inner layer. For the ou...

Fast growing double tearing modes in a tokamak plasma

Configurations with nearby multiple resonant surfaces have broad spectra of linearly unstable coupled tearing modes with dominant high poloidal mode numbers m. This was recently shown for the case of multiple q = 1 resonances [Bierwage et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 94 (6), 65001 (2005)]. In the present work, similar behavior is found for double tearing modes (DTM) on resonant surfaces with q ≥ 1. A ...

Partially ionized hydrogen plasma in strong magnetic fields.

We study the thermodynamic properties of a partially ionized hydrogen plasma in strong magnetic fields, B approximately 10(12)-10(13) G, typical of neutron stars. The properties of the plasma depend significantly on the quantum-mechanical sizes and binding energies of the atoms, which are strongly modified by thermal motion across the field. We use new fitting formulas for the atomic binding en...

Temperature-Gradient-Driven Tearing Modes

The observation of spontaneous islands growth in tokamak experiments indicates that the tearing mode could also be linearly unstable. However, in the framework of resistive magnetohydrodynamics, previous works have demonstrated that drift effects, electron heat transport along magnetic field lines and ion Larmor radius effects have stabilizing effects. Recently, numerical calculations and analy...
