Vlasov simulation of kinetic shear Alfvén waves
The treatment of kinetic shear Alfvén waves in homogeneous magnetized plasmas by means of Vlasov simulation is examined. To this end, the driftkinetic version of the Vlasov–Maxwell equations is solved via various numerical schemes, all employing a grid in (1 + 1)D phase space. Since kinetic shear Alfvén waves are Landau damped, the use of an equidistant grid in velocity space leads to a recurre...
متن کاملThree Dimensional MHD Wave Propagation and Conversion to Alfvén Waves near the Solar Surface . I . Direct Numerical Solution
The efficacy of fast/slow MHD mode conversion in the surface layers of sunspots has been demonstrated over recent years using a number of modelling techniques, including ray theory, perturbation theory, differential eigensystem analysis, and direct numerical simulation. These show that significant energy may be transferred between the fast and slow modes in the neighbourhood of the equipartitio...

متن کاملKinetic 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 کاملResonant energy conversion of 3 - minute intensity oscillations into Alfvén waves in the solar atmosphere
Nonlinear coupling between 3-minute oscillations and Alfvén waves in the solar lower atmosphere is studied. 3-minute oscillations are considered as acoustic waves trapped in a chromospheric cavity and oscillating along transversally inhomogeneous vertical magnetic field. It is shown that under the action of the oscillations the temporal dynamics of Alfvén waves is governed by Mathieu equation. ...
