On O-X mode conversion in 2D inhomogeneous plasma with a sheared magnetic field
The conversion of an ordinary wave to an extraordinary wave in a 2D inhomogeneous slab model of the plasma confined by a sheared magnetic field is studied analytically.
متن کاملThe preventive role of Snell’s law in mode conversion from Z- to whistler-mode waves in an inhomogeneous magnetoplasma with a low density
Electromagnetic waves with different modes, such as Z-, whistler-, LO- and RX- modes are found in different regions of the Earth magnetosphere and the magnetosphere of other planets. Since whistler-mode waves influence the behavior of the magnetosphere, and they are used as experimental tools to investigate the upper atmosphere, they are important. On the other hand, the mode conversion process...
متن کاملMode-expansion theory for inhomogeneous meta-surfaces.
Modeling meta-surfaces as thin metamaterial layers with continuously varying bulk parameters, we employed a rigorous mode-expansion theory to study the scattering properties of such systems. We found that a meta-surface with a linear reflection-phase profile could redirect an impinging light to a non-specular channel with nearly 100% efficiency, and a meta-surface with a parabolic reflection-ph...
متن کاملWeakly Inhomogeneous Turbulence Theory with Applications to Geophysical Flows
In this study, we investigate the problems of inhomogeneous turbulence. The main goal has been to find the connections between analytic turbulence theories, notably the formalism of the direct interaction approximation (DIA), and turbulence phenomenology. To simplify the results from an inhomogeneous DIA model, we have employed a diagonalization procedure and an assumption of weak inhomogeneity...
متن کاملNonlinear tearing mode in inhomogeneous plasma: I. Unmagnetized islands
A theory of the nonlinear growth and propagation of magnetic islands in the semi-collisional regime is presented. The theory includes the effects of finite electron temperature gradients and uses a fluid model with cold ions in slab geometry to describe islands that are unmagnetized in the sense that their width is less than ρs, the ion Larmor radius calculated with the electron temperature. Th...
