Hamiltonian formulation and coherent structures in electrostatic turbulence
نویسندگان
چکیده
A Hamiltonian formulation is constructed for a finite ion Larmor radius fluid model describing ion temperature-gradient driven and drift Kelvin-Hemholtz modes. The Hamiltonian formulation reveals the existence of three invariants obeying detailed conservation properties, corresponding roughly to generalized potential vorticity, internal energy, and ion momentum parallel to the magnetic field. These three invariants are added to the energy to form a variational principle that describes coherent structures, such as monopolar and dipolar vortices or modons. It is suggested that the invariants are responsible for the coherence and longevity of coherent structures and for their robustness during binary collisions.

We review various ways to express the partition function of the single-band Hubard model as a path integral. The emphasis is made on the derivation of the action in the integrand of the path integral and the results obtained from this approach are discussed only briefly. Since the single-band Hubbard model is a pure fermionic model on the lattice and its Hamiltonian is a polynomial in creat...

In order to model efficiently the coherent intermittent structures, i.e. the filaments brought about by the nonlinear evolution of the transverse electromagnetic (Weibel) instabilities arising in the interaction of ultraintense relativistic e-beams (REB) with supercompressed deuterium + tritium plasma core, we propose to consider them as caviton seeds for the electrostatic 3D Langmuir fully dev...
متن کاملTrapping, Anomalous Transport, and Quasi-coherent Structures in Magnetically Confined Plasmas∗)
Strong electrostatic turbulence in magnetically confined plasmas is characterized by trapping or eddying of particle trajectories produced by the E × B stochastic drift. Trapping is shown to produce strong effects on test particles and on test modes by causing nonstandard trajectory statistics: non-Gaussian distribution, memory effects, and coherence. Trapped trajectories form quasi-coherent st...
