Critical vortex line length near a zigzag of pinning centers
A vortex line passes through as many pinning centers as possible on its way from one extremety of the superconductor to the other at the expense of increasing its self-energy. In the framework of the Ginzburg-Landau theory we study the relative growth in length, with respect to the straight line, of a vortex near a zigzag of defects. The defects are insulating pinning spheres that form a three-...
متن کاملInstability & Mass Loss near the Eddington Limit
We review the physics of continuum-driven mass loss and the role it plays in η Carinae and other LBVs. Unlike line-driven mass loss, which is inherently limited by self-shadowing, continuum driving can in principle lead to mass-loss rates up to the “photon-tiring” limit, for which the energy to lift the outflow becomes equal to the stellar luminosity. We discuss how luminous atmospheres give ri...
متن کاملNear-inertial parametric subharmonic instability
New analytic estimates of the rate at which parametric subharmonic instability (PSI) transfers energy to high-vertical-wavenumber near-inertial oscillations are presented. These results are obtained by a heuristic argument which provides insight into the physical mechanism of PSI, and also by a systematic application of the method of multiple time scales to the Boussinesq equations linearized a...
متن کاملNonlinear dynamics of higher-order solitons near the oscillatory instability threshold.
Nonlinear theory describing the dynamics of solitons in the vicinity of oscillatory instability threshold with a low frequency offset is developed. The theory is tested on the example of parametric degenerate four-wave mixing. All major predictions of our theory are in agreement with the results of direct numerical modeling. This includes the position of oscillatory instability threshold, insta...
متن کاملDynamics of the Magnetoviscous Instability
In dilute astrophysical plasmas, the collisional mean free path of a particle can exceed its Larmor radius. Under these conditions, the thermal conductivity and viscosity of the plasma can be dramatically altered. This alteration allows outwardly decreasing angular velocity or temperature gradients to become strongly destabilizing. This paper generalizes an earlier, simple analysis of the visco...
