MHD mode conversion in a stratified atmosphere
Mode conversion in the region where the sound and Alfvén speeds are equal is a complex process, which has been studied both analytically and numerically, and has been seen in observations. In order to further the understanding of this process we set up a simple, onedimensional model, and examine wave propagation through this system using a combination of analytical and numerical techniques. Sim...
متن کاملNumerical simulations of a three-wave coupling occurring in the ionospheric plasma
We studied a three-wave coupling process occurring in an active experiment of microwave power transmission (MPT) in the ionospheric plasma by performing onedimensional electromagnetic PIC (Particle-In-Cell) simulations. In order to examine the spatial variation of the coupling process, we continuously emitted intense electromagnetic waves from an antenna located at a simulation boundary. In the...
متن کاملA Three-Dimensional MHD Simulation of Plasma Flow Past Io
We describe a time-dependent three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation of plasma flow past Jupiter's satellite Io. The simulation starts with a uniform, magnetized flow interacting with a finite conducting sphere (representing Io), and the integration is carried forward in time until a quasi-steady state develops. Previously we have reported on the presence of standing slow mode pe...
متن کاملWave Decay in Mhd Turbulence
We present a model for nonlinear decay of the weak wave in three-dimensional incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. We show that the decay rate is different for parallel and perpendicular waves. We provide a general formula for arbitrarily directed waves and discuss particular limiting cases known in the literature. We test our predictions with direct numerical simulations of wave...
متن کاملOn wave turbulence in MHD
We describe the fundamental differences between weak (wave) turbulence in incompressible and weakly compressible MHD at the level of three-wave interactions. The main difference is in the structure of the resonant manifolds and the mechanisms of redistribution of spectral densities along the applied magnetic field B0. Similar to pure acoustic waves, a three-wave resonance between collinear wave...
