In nonstationary, strong inhomogeneous or open plasmas particle orbits are rather complicated. If the nonstationary time scale is smaller than the gyration period, if the inhomogeneity scale is smaller than the gyration radius, i.e. at magnetic plasma boundaries, or if the plasma has sources and sinks in phase space, then nongyrotropic distribution functions occur. The stability of such plasma ...

Using the Langevin approach and the multiscale technique, a kinetic theory of the time and space nonlocal fluctuations in the collisional plasma is constructed. In local equilibrium a generalized version of the CallenWelton theorem is derived. It is shown that not only the dissipation but also the time and space derivatives of the dispersion determine the amplitude and the width of the spectrum...

The present work investigates the propagation of a radio pulse in an unmagnetized, statistically inhomogeneous plasma causing regular refraction and anisotropic scattering. Using the framework of geometrical optics, a Fokker-Planck equation is derived and integrated within a two-moment approximation. The method allows a continuous transition from weak to strong angular scattering and yields pul...

A connection between kinetic processes and intermittent turbulence is observed in the solar wind plasma using measurements from the Wind spacecraft at 1 A.U. In particular, kinetic effects such as temperature anisotropy and plasma heating are concentrated near coherent structures, such as current sheets, which are nonuniformly distributed in space. Furthermore, these coherent structures are pre...

P2DHMMs manage the assignment of observations to states quite well, whereas the calculation of probabilities is a great problem. To overcome some of the defects of P2DHMMs we propose the inhomogeneous P2DHMM (IP2DHMM). In contrast to some other approaches it is able to model consistently state duration and observation matrices of fixed height at no additional cost in computational load and numb...

The theory of the ion cyclotron (IC) electrostatic parametric instabilities inhomogeneous plasma that are driven by electric field fast wave (FW) in front FW antenna is developed. It found spatial inhomogeneity IC turbulence and drift at origin flows transport a large part power, deposited to pedestal plasma, scrape-off layer later divertor mostly along lines.
