Flowing low temperature atmospheric pressure plasma devices have been used in many technological applications ranging from energy efficient combustion through to wound healing and cancer therapy. The generation of the plasma causes a sudden onset of turbulence in the inhomogeneous axisymmetric jet flow downstream of the plasma plume. The mean turbulent velocity fields are shown to be self-simil...

The propagation of linear Kinetic Alfv en waves (KAWs) in inhomogeneous magnetized plasma has been studied while including inhomogeneities in transverse and parallel directions relative to the background magnetic field. The propagation of KAWs in inhomogeneous magnetized plasma is expected to play a key role in energy transfer and turbulence generation in space and laboratory plasmas. The inhom...

This study is concerned with the theory of parametric coupling of waves in a hot inhomogeneous magnetized plasma in which the temperature gradient has been taken into account. The general dispersion relation and the polarization of the ordinary and the extra-ordinary wave modes are discussed. The eigen-mode solutions of the coupled differential equations for the wave amplitudes are obtained in ...
