Kinetic instability of ion acoustic mode in permeating plasmas
In plasmas with electron drift (current) relative to static ions, the ion acoustic wave is subject to the kinetic instability which takes place if the directed electron speed exceeds the ion acoustic speed. The instability threshold becomes different in the case of one quasi-neutral electron-ion plasma propagating through another static quasineutral (target) plasma. The threshold velocity of th...
متن کاملKinetic Theories of Geodesic Acoustic Mode in Toroidal Plasmas
Geodesic Acoustic Modes (GAM) are known to constitute a continuous spectrum due to radial inhomogeneities. The existence of a singular layer causes GAM to mode convert to short wavelength kinetic GAM (KGAM) via finite ion Larmor radius (FLR) and finite guiding-center drift-orbit-width (FOW) effects. The dispersion relation of GAM/KGAM with FLR/FOW as well as parallel electric field contribution...
متن کاملNonlinear frequency oscillation of Alfvén eigenmodes in fusion plasmas.
A nonlinear oscillation of frequency and amplitude is found by massively parallel gyrokinetic simulations of Alfvén eigenmodes excited by energetic particles in toroidal plasmas. The fast and repetitive frequency chirping is induced by the evolution of coherent structures in the phase space. The dynamics of the coherent structures is controlled by the competition between the phase-space island ...
متن کاملVlasov 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 کاملTheory and Observations of Slow-Mode Solitons in Space Plasmas
125004-1 A generalized model for one-dimensional magnetosonic structures of large amplitude in space plasmas is presented. The model is verified with multipoint measurements on Cluster satellites in the magnetosheath and the boundary layer under conditions of plasma beta (plasma/magnetic pressure) between 0.1–10. We demonstrate good agreement between the model and observations of large amplitud...
