A Powerful Viscous Shear Instability in Weakly Magnetized, Dilute Plasmas
When the ion mean free path much exceeds the Larmor radius in a plasma, the viscous stress tensor is altered dramatically, and depends only upon quantities measured along the field lines. This regime corresponds to typical interstellar medium conditions in galaxies and protogalaxies, even if the magnetic field is extremely weak with negligible pressure and tension forces. Despite the fact that ...
متن کاملViscous Shear Instability in Weakly Magnetized, Dilute Plasmas
When the ion mean free path much exceeds the Larmor radius in a plasma, the viscous stress tensor is altered dramatically, and depends only upon quantities measured along the field lines. This regime corresponds to typical interstellar medium conditions in galaxies and protogalaxies, even if the magnetic field is extremely weak, with a negligible Lorentz force on all scales of interest. In this...
متن کاملDust in Magnetized Plasmas
Overview of recent progress in studies of magnetized dusty plasmas is presented. Dust dynamic under the influence of an applied magnetic field in various types of discharges and conditions (including dust dynamic in the magnetized plasma sheath) is examined. The various dust driven mechanisms in magnetized plasma are considered and comparison experimental and theoretical data is performed. Infl...
متن کاملVortex interactions in magnetized plasmas
Current-vortex filament solutions to the twofluid plasma equations that describe drift-Alfvén waves are presented. Such filament systems are Hamiltonian. Integrable three and four filament systems are discussed in some detail. A wide variety of orbit topologies exists in the plasma case. Special attention is paid to collapses where all filaments contract to a single point. The differences and e...
متن کاملChaoticity threshold in magnetized plasmas Transition from order to chaos, and density limit, in magnetized plasmas
It is known that a plasma in a magnetic field, conceived microscopically as a system of point charges, can exist in a magnetized state, and thus remain confined, inasmuch as it is in an ordered state of motion, with the charged particles performing gyrational motions transverse to the field. Here we give an estimate of a threshold, beyond which transverse motions become chaotic, the electrons b...
