The Nonlinear Evolution of Instabilities Driven by Magnetic Buoyancy: a New Mechanism for the Formation of Coherent Magnetic Structures
Motivated by the problem of the formation of active regions from a deep-seated solar magnetic field, we consider the nonlinear three-dimensional evolution of magnetic buoyancy instabilities resulting from a smoothly stratified horizontal magnetic field. By exploring the case for which the instability is continuously driven we have identified a new mechanism for the formation of concentrations o...
متن کاملNonlinear current-driven ion-acoustic instability driven by phase-space structures
The nonlinear stability of current-driven ion-acoustic waves in collisionless electron-ion plasmas is analyzed. Seminal simulations from the 80’s are revisited. Accurate numerical treatment shows that subcritical instabilities do not grow from an ensemble of waves, except very close to marginal stability and for large initial amplitudes. Further from marginal stability, one isolated phase-space...
متن کاملJérémy Basley An Experimental Investigation on Waves and Coherent Structures in a Three-Dimensional Open Cavity Flow
A space-time study of a three-dimensional nonlinearly saturated open cavity flow is undertaken using time-resolved space-extended experimental data, acquired in both cross-stream and spanwise planes, in incompressible air and water flows. Through multiple modal decompositions in time and space, the waves and coherent structures composing the dynamics in the permanent regime are identified and c...
متن کاملObservation of nonlinear frequency-sweeping suppression with rf diffusion.
Nonlinear frequency sweeping of unstable waves in a laboratory plasma is suppressed upon application of rf fields. Frequency sweeping is driven by a population of energetic electrons trapped in a magnetic dipole field that excite drift-resonant potential fluctuations and create coherent structures in phase space. Self-consistent numerical simulation reproduces the suppression and suggests an ex...
متن کاملLocalization and Coherence in Nonintegrable Systems
We study the irreversible dynamics of nonlinear, nonintegrable Hamiltonian oscillator chains approaching their statistical asymptotic states. In systems constrained by more than one conserved quantity, the partitioning of the conserved quantities leads naturally to localized and coherent structures. If the phase space is compact, the final equilibrium state is governed by entropy maximization a...
