Adopting the theoretical framework for the generalized fishbonelike dispersion relation, an extended hybrid magnetohydrodynamics gyrokinetic simulation model has been derived analytically by taking into account both thermal ion compressibility and diamagnetic effects in addition to energetic particle kinetic behaviors. The extended model has been used for implementing an extended version of hyb...

Magneto-inertial fusion (MIF) approaches, such as the MagLIF experiment, use magnetic fields in dense plasma to suppress cross-field thermal conduction, attempting reduce heat loss and trap alpha particles achieve ignition. However, field can introduce other transport effects, some of which are deleterious. An understanding these processes is thus crucial for accurate modeling MIF. We generaliz...

Plasma ap plicati ons of comput ational techniques based on cellular auto mat a are inhibited by the long-ran ge nature of electromagnetic forc es . On e of the most promis ing features of cellu lar automata methods has been th e parallelism that becomes possible because of the local natu re of th e interactions , leading (for example) to t he absence of Poisson equat ions to be solved in fluid...

Previous discussions of Alfvdn wave propagation across an inhomogeneous plasma predicted that shear Alfvin waves become singular (resonant) at the w = kzuA layer and that there is a strong wave absorption at this layer giving localized ion heating. In this paper the three standard derivations of the Alfvdn ‘resonance’ (incompressible magnetohydrodynamics, compressible magnetohydrodynamics, and ...

The no-hair theorem of general relativity states that isolated black holes are characterized by three parameters: mass, spin, and charge. In this Letter we consider Kerr endowed with highly magnetized plasma-filled magnetospheres. Using relativistic kinetic plasma resistive magnetohydrodynamics simulations, show a dipole magnetic field on the event horizon opens into split-monopole reconnects i...

In kinetic treatments of hydrodynamics the macroscopic variables such as density and momentum are given by moments of distribution functions. In discrete kinetic theory it is possible to construct a complete set of moments whose evolution provides a complete description of the dynamics of the underlying kinetic equation. Moreover, the collision operator is most easily specified by its action up...

We study the behavior at in nity, with respect to the space variable, of solutions to the magnetohydrodynamics equations in Rd. We prove that if the initial magnetic eld decays su ciently fast, then the plasma ow behaves as a solution of the free nonstationnary Navier Stokes equations when |x| → +∞, and that the magnetic eld will govern the decay of the plasma, if it is poorly localized at the ...

The lowest-order description of a magnetized plasma is given by magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). However, many astrophysical plasmas (as well as some laboratory plasmas) are relativistic, in that either the thermal speed or the fluid flow speed approaches the speed of light, and conventional MHD is not consistent with special relativity. Beginning with exact laws of motion, this work derives a gener...
