2 00 4 Multi - scale magnetic field intermittence in the plasma sheet
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper demonstrates that intermittent magnetic field fluctuations in the plasma sheet exhibit transitory, localized, and multi-scale features. We propose a multifractal based algorithm, which quantifies intermittence on the basis of the statistical distribution of the 'strength of burstiness', estimated within a sliding window. Interesting multi-scale phenomena observed by the Cluster spacecraft include large scale motion of the current sheet and bursty bulk flow associated turbulence, interpreted as a cross-scale coupling (CSC) process.

Examining the role of turbulence in the solar wind - magnetosphere interaction processes
In this paper we compare the intermittence properties of magnetic fluctuations (nonGaussian shape of probability density functions) observed in the solar wind (ACE) with the simultaneous occurrence of intermittence in the Earth’s plasma sheet (GEOTAIL). Intervals with different level of magnetic turbulence are investigated separately.

Small-scale magnetic turbulence observed by the Cluster spacecraft in the plasma sheet is investigated by means of a wavelet estimator suitable for detecting distinct scaling characteristics even in noisy measurements. The spectral estimators used for this purpose are affected by a frequency dependent bias. The variances of the wavelet coefficients, however, match the power-law shaped spectra, ...

We consider stochastic reconnection in a magnetized, partially ionized medium. Stochastic reconnection is a generic effect, due to field line wandering, in which the speed of reconnection is determined by the ability of ejected plasma to diffuse away from the current sheet along magnetic field lines, rather than by the details of current sheet structure. As in earlier work, in which we dealt wi...
متن کاملNonlocal Vibration Behavior of a Viscoelastic SLGS Embedded on Visco- Pasternak Foundation Under Magnetic Field
This paper is concerned with the surface and small scale effects on transverse vibration of a viscoelastic single-layered graphene sheet (SLGS) subjected to an in-plane magnetic field. The SLGS is surrounded by an elastic medium which is simulated as Visco-Pasternak foundation. In order to investigate the small scale effects, the nonlocal elasticity theory is employed due to its simplicity and ...

In this study, thermo-nonlocal vibration of double bonded graphene sheet (DBGS) subjected to 2D-magnetic field under biaxial in-plane pre-load are presented. The elastic forces between layers of graphene sheet (GS) are taken into account by Pasternak foundation and the classical plate theory (CLPT) and continuum orthotropic elastic plate are used. The nonlocal theory of Eringen and Maxwell’s re...
