Tracing Turbulent Ambipolar Diffusion in Molecular Clouds

Though flux freezing is a good approximation frequently assumed for molecular clouds, ambipolar diffusion (AD) is inevitable at certain scales. The scale at which AD sets in can be a crucial parameter for turbulence and the star formation process. However, both observation and simulation of AD are very challenging and our knowledge of it is very limited. We recently proposed (Li and Houde 2008)...

Magnetic Transport On The Solar Atmosphere By Turbulent Ambipolar Diffusion

The lower solar atmosphere consists of partially ionized turbulent plasmas harbouring velocity field, magnetic field and current density fluctuations. The correlations amongst these small scale fluctuations give rise to large scale flows and magnetic fields which decisively affect all transport processes. The three fluid system consisting of electrons, ions and neutral particles supports nonide...

Ambipolar filamentation of turbulent magnetic fields: a numerical simulation

We present the results of a 2-D, two fluid (ions and neutrals) simulation of the ambipolar filamentation process, in which a magnetized, weakly ionized plasma is stirred by turbulence in the ambipolar frequency range. The higher turbulent velocity of the neutrals in the most ionized regions gives rise to a non-linear force driving them out of these regions, so that the initial ionization inhomo...

Random walk on fractals : numerical studies in two dimensions

Monte Carlo calculations are used to investigate some statistical properties of random walks on fractal structures. Two kinds of lattices are used: the Sierpinski gasket and the infinite percolation cluster, in two dimensions. Among other problems, we study: ( i ) the range RN of the walker (number of distinct visited sites during N steps): average value S, variance and asymptotic distribution;...

Turbulent Magnetic Reconnection in Two Dimensions

Two-dimensional numerical simulations of the effect of background turbulence on 2D resistive magnetic reconnection are presented. For sufficiently small values of the resistivity (η) and moderate values of the turbulent power ( ), the reconnection rate is found to have a much weaker dependence on η than the Sweet-Parker scaling of η and is even consistent with an η-independent value. For a give...
