Radiowave propagation in a statistically inhomogeneous plasma
The present work investigates the propagation of a radio pulse in an unmagnetized, statistically inhomogeneous plasma causing regular refraction and anisotropic scattering. Using the framework of geometrical optics, a Fokker-Planck equation is derived and integrated within a two-moment approximation. The method allows a continuous transition from weak to strong angular scattering and yields pul...
متن کاملWhistler Wave Cascades in Solar Wind Plasma
Nonlinear three dimensional, time dependent, fluid simulations of whistler wave turbulence are performed to investigate role of whistler waves in solar wind plasma turbulence in which characteristic turbulent fluctuations are characterized typically by the frequency and length scales that are respectively bigger than ion gyro frequency and smaller than ion gyro radius. The electron inertial len...
متن کاملTheory and Simulations of Whistler Wave Propagation
A linear theory of whistler wave is developed wihtin the paradigm of a two dimensional incompressible electron magnetohydrodynamics model. Exact analytic wave solutions are obtained for a small amplitude whistler wave that exhibit magnetic field topological structures consistent with the observations and our simulations in linear regime. In agreement with experiment, we find that the parallel g...
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 کاملWhistler-mode Propagation in the Collisional Ionosphere of Venus
Waves identified as whistler-mode waves have been observed in the nightside ionosphere of Venus by the Pioneer Venus Orbiter. These waves are propagating in a collisional, weakly magnetized ionosphere, and it has been argued that as such they should be damped through collisions, and the wave should not retain the characteristics of the whistler-mode because of non-linear modifications to the di...
