Kinetic Alfven wave in the presence of parallel electric field with general loss-cone distribution function: A kinetic approach
In past, kinetic Alfven waves are widely investigated regarding the transfer of energy from the magnetosphere to the ionosphere. These waves are supposed to be responsible for the acceleration of auroral electrons to exhibit auroral phenomena. The existence of parallel electric fields is always reported in association with the kinetic Alfven waves. In the present investigation, assuming paralle...
متن کاملPropagation of Alfvén Waves at the Plasma Sheet Boundary Layer
Recently, observations from the Polar and Cluster satellites have indicated that largeamplitude kinetic Alfvén waves are observed throughout the plasma sheet, particularly at the plasma sheet boundary layers, during substorms. These waves may be directly produced by reconnection processes in the tail, or indirectly through linear or nonlinear mode conversion or by localized plasma flows in the ...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Shock-Wave/Boundary/Layer Interactions in a Hypersonic Compression Corner Flow
Numerical results are presented for the shock-boundary layer interactions in a hypersonic flow over a sharp leading edge compression corner. In this study, a second- order Godunov type scheme based on solving a Generalized Riemann Problem (GRP) at each cell interface is used to solve thin shear layer approximation of laminar Navier-Stokes (N-S) equations. The calculated flow-field shows general...
متن کاملKinetic dendrite in the boundary-layer model
Within trie boundary-layer model and by taking into account only interface kinetics (isotropic or anisotropic), we find a contmuous set of « kinetic » dendrites. This solution exists at arbitrary supercooling A in the 2Dand 3D-axisymmetric cases and reduces to the usual dendrites with parabolic tails at A ~ l, and « angular » dendrites at A ~ l. In contrast with classical Ivantsov dendrites, th...
متن کاملSome properties of Alfvén waves: Observations in the tail lobes and the plasma sheet boundary layer
[1] We report properties of substorm-related, globally excited Alfvén waves on a temporal scale of 6 to 300 s (3.3 to 167 mHz) at geocentric distances between 5 and 6 RE. The waves were observed in the tail lobes and the plasma sheet boundary layer (PSBL) by the Polar satellite. In each region we made the following observations: (1) The tail lobe Alfvén waves started at substorm onset as determ...
