Plasma expansion into a vacuum.

انبساط خود- مشابه پلاسماهای دارای یون‌های گرم به خلاء

Expansion of one dimensional collisionless plasma into vacuum is studied under different initial ions temperature. In this study, a simulation code is used, in which the electrons dynamic is determined by Vlasov equation and the ions dynamic is determined  by fluids equations. Finally, the effect of initial ions temperature on the expansion of plasma into vacuum is investigated and the obtained...

  In this study, relativistic Vlasov simulation of plasma for expansion of collisionless plasma for into vacuum is presented. The model is based on 1+1 dimensional phase space and electrostatic approximation. For this purpose, the electron dynamics is studied by the relativistic Vlasov equation. Regardless of the ions temperature, fluid equations are used for their dynamics. The initial electro...

Simple waves in relativistic fluids.

We consider the Riemann problem for relativistic flows of polytropic fluids and find relations for the flow characteristics. Evolution of physical quantities takes especially simple form for the case of cold magnetized plasmas. We find exact explicit analytical solutions for one-dimensional expansion of magnetized plasma into vacuum, valid for arbitrary magnetization. We also consider expansion...

Collisionless plasma expansion into vacuum: two new twists on an old problem

The paper deals with a generic problem of collisionless plasma expansion into vacuum in the regimes where the expanding plasma consists of hot electrons and cold ions. The expansion is caused by electron pressure and serves as an energy transfer mechanism from electrons to ions. This process is often described under the assumption of Maxwellian electrons, which easily fails in the absence of co...
