Cosmic Ray Scattering in Compressible Turbulence
We study the scattering of low-energy Cosmic Rays (CRs) in a turbulent, compressive MHD fluid. We show that compressible MHD modes – fast or slow waves with wave lengths smaller than CR mean free paths induce cyclotron instability in CRs. The instability feeds the new small-scale Alfvénic wave component with wave vectors mostly along magnetic field, which is not a part of the MHD turbulence cas...
متن کاملCosmic Ray Scattering by Compressible Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
Recent advances in understanding of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence call for substantial revisions in the picture of cosmic ray transport. In this paper we use recently obtained scaling laws for MHD modes to calculate the scattering frequency for cosmic rays in the ISM. We consider gyroresonance with MHD modes (Alfvénic, slow and fast) and transit-time damping (TTD) by fast modes. We provi...
متن کاملCosmic-ray Scattering and Streaming in Compressible Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
Recent advances in understanding of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence call for revisions in the picture of cosmic-ray transport. In this paper we use recently obtained scaling laws for MHD modes to obtain the scattering frequency for cosmic rays. Using quasi-linear theory, we calculate gyroresonance with MHD modes (Alfvénic, slow, and fast) and transit-time damping (TTD) by fast modes. We pr...
متن کاملBehavior of heavy particles in isotropic turbulence.
The motion of heavy particles in isotropic turbulence is investigated using direct numerical simulation. The statistics related to the velocity and acceleration of heavy particles for a wide range of Stokes numbers, defined as the ratio of the particle response time to the Kolmogorov time scale of turbulence (St=tau_{p}/tau_{eta}) , are investigated. A particular emphasis is placed on the stati...
متن کاملDamped eigenmode saturation in plasma fluid turbulence
A broad sample of fluid models for instability-driven plasma turbulence is surveyed to determine whether saturation involving damped eigenmodes requires special physics or is a common property of plasma turbulence driven by instability. Previous investigations have focused exclusively on turbulence in the core of tokamak discharges. The models surveyed here apply to a wide range of physical mec...
