Under and over-adiabatic electrons through a perpendicular collisionless shock: theory versus simulations
Test particle simulations are performed in order to analyze in detail the dynamics of transmitted electrons through a supercritical, strictly perpendicular, collisionless shock. In addition to adiabatic particles, two distinct nonadiabatic populations are observed surprisingly: (i) first, an over-adiabatic population characterized by an increase in the gyrating velocity higher than that expecte...
متن کاملStructure and Stationarity of Quasi-perpendicular Shocks: Numerical simulations
This paper presents an overview of numerical simulation studies of fast collisionless shocks and compares these simulation results with observations of the Earth’s bow shock and theoretical works. Especially, we review the structure and stationarity of the supercritical quasi-perpendicular shocks. In situ observations indicate that these shocks are generally quasi-stationary whereas full partic...
متن کاملExperimental analysis of shock waves turbulence in contractions with rectangular sections
Formation of shock waves has an important role in supercritical flows studies. These waves are often occurring during passage of supercritical flow in the non-prismatic channels. In the present study, the effect of length of contraction wall of open-channel for two different geometries (1.5 m and 0.5 m) and fixed contraction ratio was investigated on hydraulic parameters of shock waves using ex...
متن کاملOn Electron Adiabaticity in Collisionless Shocks
Collisionless shocks are considered as one of the most efficient phenomena for the electron acceleration in space and astrophysical plasmas, yet the detailed acceleration process and heating mechanism remain unsolved. Various acceleration and heating mechanisms have so far been proposed and discussed to explain the spacecraft measurements in situ at Earth’s bow shock, involving the large-scale ...
متن کاملElectron Acceleration at a Low-mach-number Perpendicular Collisionless Shock
A full particle simulation study is carried out on the electron acceleration at a collisionless, relatively low Alfven Mach number (MA = 5), perpendicular shock. Recent self-consistent hybrid shock simulations have demonstrated that the shock front of perpendicular shocks has a dynamic rippled character along the shock surface of low-Mach-number perpendicular shocks. In this paper, the effect o...
