Nonlinear Diffusion in Magnetized Discharges
نویسنده
چکیده
In high-density gas discharges in which the electrons, but not the ions, are confined by a magnetic field, the radial density profile is often observed to have a triangular shape, as if the ionization were concentrated on axis. However, such profiles can also result from nonlinear diffusion, in which the diffusion coefficient varies inversely with density.

Nonlinear stability of rotating two superposed magnetized fluids with the technique of the homotopy perturbation
In the present work, the Rayleigh-Taylor instability of two rotating superposed magnetized fluids within the presence of a vertical or a horizontal magnetic flux has been investigated. The nonlinear theory is applied, by solving the equation of motion and uses the acceptable nonlinear boundary conditions. However, the nonlinear characteristic equation within the elevation parameter is obtained....
متن کاملAnomalous transport of magnetized electrons interacting with EC waves
We consider the nonlinear interaction of magnetized electrons with an oblique narrow-band electromagnetic wave-packet. The interaction is analyzed over and near the local threshold to chaos. The statistical character of the forcing that controls the trajectories of the particles is also studied. We focus our analysis on issues related to energy and spatial diffusion across the magnetic field by...
متن کاملNonlinear Field Line Random Walk and Generalized Compound Diffusion of Charged Particles in Turbulent Magnetized Plasmas
We present an improved nonlinear theory for the perpendicular transport of charged particles. This approach is based on an improved nonlinear treatment of field-line random walk in combination with a generalized compound diffusion model. The generalized compound diffusion model employed is more systematic and reliable, in comparison with previous theories. Furthermore, the theory shows remarkab...
متن کاملDust in Magnetized Plasmas
Overview of recent progress in studies of magnetized dusty plasmas is presented. Dust dynamic under the influence of an applied magnetic field in various types of discharges and conditions (including dust dynamic in the magnetized plasma sheath) is examined. The various dust driven mechanisms in magnetized plasma are considered and comparison experimental and theoretical data is performed. Infl...
متن کاملLow ion-velocity slowing down in a strongly magnetized plasma target.
An ion projectile stopping at a velocity smaller than the target electron thermal velocity in a strong magnetic field is investigated within a different diffusion formulation, based on Green-Kubo integrands evaluated in magnetized one component plasma models, respectively framed on target ions and electrons. Analytic expressions are reported for slowing down orthogonal and parallel to an arbitr...
