Collisionless Plasma Flow over a Conducting Sphere
A nonlinear interaction between the whistler mode wave packet and resonantparticles is considered. An evolution of the packet’s shape is investigated in detail. Nonlinear effects produced by the interaction of whistlers with resonant particles have been discussedin a large number of papers (e.g. Roux and Solomon, 1970; Coriniti et al., 1971; Bud’ko ef al., 1971).However, either pack...
متن کاملSteady-state magnetohydrodynamic plasma flow past conducting sphere
An analytic solution to the problem of strongly magnetized plasma flow past a smooth, conducting sphere is considered. The magnetic field is taken to be uniform at very large distances and the sphere is assumed to be unmagnetized. In addition, the flow speed is assumed to be subsonic and super-Alfvénic. It is shown that a steady state solution is possible only if the frozen-in condition can be ...
متن کاملRadar Scattering from a Conducting Cone-Sphere
As part of an investigation of the radar backscatter properties of axisymmetric conducting shapes, a study has been made of backscattering by a cone-sphere. This body is comprised of a circular cone with a 25° included cone angle, terminated by a tangent spherical segment. Measurements of backscatter cross sections over all aspect angles are presented for wavelengths in the range from one-tenth...
متن کاملTurbulent dynamo in a collisionless plasma.
Magnetic fields pervade the entire universe and affect the formation and evolution of astrophysical systems from cosmological to planetary scales. The generation and dynamical amplification of extragalactic magnetic fields through cosmic times (up to microgauss levels reported in nearby galaxy clusters, near equipartition with kinetic energy of plasma motions, and on scales of at least tens of ...
متن کاملThe Magnetorotational Instability in a Collisionless Plasma
We consider the linear axisymmetric stability of a differentially rotating collisionless plasma in the presence of a weak magnetic field; we restrict our analysis to wavelengths much larger than the proton Larmor radius. This is the kinetic version of the magnetorotational instability explored extensively as a mechanism for magnetic field amplification and angular momentum transport in accretio...
