Laplacian Instability of Planar Streamer Ionization Fronts - An Example of Pulled Front Analysis
Streamer ionization fronts are pulled fronts propagating into a linearly unstable state; the spatial decay of the initial condition of a planar front selects dynamically one specific long time attractor out of a continuous family. A stability analysis for perturbations in the transverse direction has to take these features into account. In this paper we show how to apply the Evans function in a...
متن کاملRelativistic Ionization Fronts
We derive the equations for the propagation of relativistic ionization fronts (I-fronts) in both static and moving gases, including the cosmologically-expanding intergalactic medium (IGM). We focus on the supersonic R-type phase that occurs right after a source turns on, and we compare the nonrelativistic and relativistic solutions for several important cases. Relativistic corrections can be si...
متن کاملRelativistic runaway ionization fronts.
We investigate the first example of self-consistent impact ionization fronts propagating at relativistic speeds and involving interacting, high-energy electrons. These fronts, which we name relativistic runaway ionization fronts, show remarkable features such as a bulk speed within less than one percent of the speed of light and the stochastic selection of high-energy electrons for further acce...
متن کاملMoving boundary approximation for curved streamer ionization fronts: solvability analysis.
The minimal density model for negative streamer ionization fronts is investigated. An earlier moving boundary approximation for this model consisted of a "kinetic undercooling" type boundary condition in a Laplacian growth problem of Hele-Shaw type. Here we derive a curvature correction to the moving boundary approximation that resembles surface tension. The calculation is based on solvability ...

Streamer ionization fronts are pulled fronts propagating into a linearly unstable state; the spatial decay of the initial condition of a planar front selects dynamically one specific long time attractor out of a continuous family. A transverse stability analysis has to take these features into account. In this paper we introduce a framework for this transverse stability analysis, involving stab...
