Observation of self-similarity in the magnetic fields generated by the ablative nonlinear Rayleigh-Taylor instability.
Magnetic fields generated by the nonlinear Rayleigh-Taylor growth of laser-seeded three-dimensional broadband perturbations were measured in laser-accelerated planar targets using ultrafast proton radiography. The experimental data show self-similar behavior in the growing cellular magnetic field structures. These observations are consistent with a bubble competition and merger model that predi...
متن کاملNonlinear theory of the ablative Rayleigh-Taylor instability.
A fully nonlinear sharp-boundary model of the ablative Rayleigh-Taylor instability is derived and closed in a similar way to the self-consistent closure of the linear theory. It contains the stabilizing effect of ablation and accurately reproduces the results of 2D DRACO simulations. The single-mode saturation amplitude, bubble and spike evolutions in the nonlinear regimes, and the seeding of l...
متن کاملWeakly nonlinear theory for the ablative Rayleigh-Taylor instability.
A weakly nonlinear model is proposed for the Rayleigh-Taylor instability in the presence of ablation and thermal transport. The second harmonic generation efficiency of a single-mode disturbance is computed, as well as the nonlinear correction to the exponential growth of the fundamental modulation. Mode coupling in the spectrum of a multimode disturbance is thoroughly analyzed. The ablative st...
متن کاملEffects of Magnetic Field, Sheared Flow and Ablative Velocity on the Rayleigh - Taylor Instability
It is found that magnetic field has a stabilization effect whereas the sheared flow has a destabilization effect on the RT instability in the presence of sharp interface. RT instability only occurs in the long wave region and can be completely suppressed if the stabilizing effect of magnetic field dominates. The RT instability increases with wave number and flow shear, and acts much like a Kelv...
متن کاملSaturation of Magnetorotational Instability through Magnetic Field Generation
The saturation mechanism of Magneto-Rotational Instability (MRI) is examined through analytical quasilinear theory and through nonlinear computation of a single mode in a rotating disk. We find that large-scale magnetic field is generated through the alpha effect (the correlated product of velocity and magnetic field fluctuations) and causes the MRI mode to saturate. If the large-scale plasma f...
