Intrinsic rotation driven by non-Maxwellian equilibria in Tokamak plasmas.
The effect of small deviations from a Maxwellian equilibrium on turbulent momentum transport in tokamak plasmas is considered. These non-Maxwellian features, arising from diamagnetic effects, introduce a strong dependence of the radial flux of cocurrent toroidal angular momentum on collisionality: As the plasma goes from nearly collisionless to weakly collisional, the flux reverses direction fr...
متن کاملUse of Langmuir probes in non-Maxwellian space plasmas
Disturbance of the Maxwellian plasma may occur in the vicinity of a spacecraft due to photoemission, interactions between the spacecraft and thermospheric gases, or electron emissions from other devices on the spacecraft. Significant non-Maxwellian plasma distributions may also occur in nature as a mixture of ionospheric and magnetospheric plasmas or secondaries produced by photoionization in t...
متن کاملLangevin representation of Coulomb collisions for bi-Maxwellian plasmas
Langevin model corresponding to the Fokker-Planck equation for bi-Maxwellian particle distribution functions is developed. Rosenbluth potentials and their derivatives are derived in the form of triple hypergeometric functions. The Langevin model is tested in the case of relaxation of the proton temperature anisotropy and implemented into the hybrid expanding box model. First results of this cod...
متن کاملAnalog and digital simulations of Maxwellian plasmas for astrophysics1
Many astrophysical and laboratory plasmas possess Maxwell–Boltzmann (MB) electron energy distributions (EEDs). Interpreting or predicting the properties of these plasmas requires accurate knowledge of atomic processes such as radiative lifetimes, electron impact excitation and de-excitation, electron impact ionization, radiative recombination, dielectronic recombination, and charge transfer, al...
متن کاملRelativistic laser channeling in plasmas for fast ignition.
We report an experimental observation suggesting plasma channel formation by focusing a relativistic laser pulse into a long-scale-length preformed plasma. The channel direction coincides with the laser axis. Laser light transmittance measurement indicates laser channeling into the high-density plasma with relativistic self-focusing. A three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation reproduces th...
