Temporal evolution of drift-type modes in plasma flows with strong time-dependent velocity shear
نویسندگان
چکیده
The linear and renormalized nonlinear analysis of the temporal evolution of drift-type modes in plasma flows with strong time-varying velocity shear is developed. Analysis is performed in the time domain without spectral decomposition in time and admits time variation of the flow velocity with time scales which may be comparable with turbulent time scales. 52.35.Ra Electronic mail: [email protected]

Temporal Evolution of Drift Alfv en Waves in an Inhomogeneous Plasma with Homogeneous Shear Flow
The temporal evolution of drift-Alfv en waves in a plasma ow with homogeneous shear is studied as an initial value problem without the use of spectral expansion in time. It is shown that the conventional modal structure of the drift-Alfv en instability (as well as drift and Alfv en waves) pertains only in the initial stage of its evolution. For larger times, non-modal e ects due to the velocity...
متن کاملAixsymmetric Stagnation Point Flow of a Viscous Fluid on a Moving Cylinder with Time Dependent Axial Velocity
The unsteady viscous flow in the vicinity of an axisymmetric stagnation point of an infinite moving cylinder with time-dependent axial velocity is investigated. The impinging free stream is steady with a strain rate k. An exact solution of the Navier-Stokes equations is derived in this problem. A reduction of these equations is obtained by use of appropriate transformations. The general self-si...
متن کاملElectro-magneto-hydrodynamics Flows of Burgers' Fluids in Cylindrical Domains with Time Exponential Memory
This paper investigates the axial unsteady flow of a generalized Burgers’ fluid with fractional constitutive equation in a circular micro-tube, in presence of a time-dependent pressure gradient and an electric field parallel to flow direction and a magnetic field perpendicular on the flow direction. The mathematical model used in this work is based on a time-nonlocal constitutive equation for s...
متن کاملDirection of Hurricane Beta Drift in Horizontally Sheared Flows
The impacts of linear environmental shears on beta drift direction are assessed through numerical experiments with a single-layer, primitive equation model. It is found that cyclonic (anticyclonic) shears turn the beta drift more westward (northward) in the Northern Hemisphere. In addition, the longitudinal shear of meridional flows (]V/]x) is much more effective than the meridional shear of zo...

Effect of time dependent normal transpiration on the problem of unsteady viscous flow and heat transfer in the vicinity of an axisymmetric stagnation point of an infinite circular cylinder moving simultaneously with time-depended angular and axial velocities and with time-dependent wall temperature or wall heat flux are investigated. The impinging free stream is steady with a strain rate . A re...
