Hydrodynamic Instability of the Heliopause Driven by Plasma -

Results from time-dependent two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of the global heliosphere show that drag between the plasma ions and the interstellar neutrals, caused by charge-exchange collisions, causes the heliopause to be hydrodynamically unstable. Both ions and neutrals are treated as uids coupled by charge-exchange collisions. The neutral-ion drag proportional to the plasma density i...

Particle in Cell-Monte Carlo Collisions of a Plasma Column Driven by Surface Wave Plasma Discharges

In this work, applicability of Particle in Cell-Monte Carlo Collisions (PIC-MCC) simulation method for better understanding of the plasma physical mechanisms and real important aspects of a plasma column driven by surface wave plasma discharges that is used in plasma antennas is examined. Via the implementation of geometry and physical parameters of the plasma column to an Object Oriented PIC-M...

Transition from plasma-driven to Kerr-driven laser filamentation.

While filaments are generally interpreted as a dynamic balance between Kerr focusing and plasma defocusing, the role of the higher-order Kerr effect (HOKE) is actively debated as a potentially dominant defocusing contribution to filament stabilization. In a pump-probe experiment supported by numerical simulations, we demonstrate the transition between two distinct filamentation regimes at 800 n...
