Tearing instability in Alfvén and kinetic-Alfvén turbulence
Stanislav Boldyrev, Nuno F. Loureiro
Recently, it has been realized that magnetic plasma turbulence and magnetic field reconnection are inherently related phenomena. Turbulent fluctuations generate regions of a sheare…
Kinetic theory of the electron strahl in the solar wind
Stanislav Boldyrev, Konstantinos Horaites
We develop a kinetic theory for {the electron strahl, a beam of energetic electrons which propagate} from the sun along the Parker-spiral-shaped magnetic field lines. By assuming a…
Nonlinear Reconnection in Magnetized Turbulence
Nuno F. Loureiro, Stanislav Boldyrev
Recent analytical works on strong magnetized plasma turbulence have hypothesized the existence of a range of scales where the tearing instability may govern the energy cascade. In…
Decomposition of Plasma Kinetic Entropy into Position and Velocity Space and the Use of Kinetic Entropy in Particle-in-Cell Simulations
Haoming Liang, Paul A. Cassak, Sergio Servidio +9
We describe a systematic development of kinetic entropy as a diagnostic in fully kinetic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations and use it to interpret plasma physics processes in heli…
An introductory guide to fluid models with anisotropic temperatures Part 2 -- Kinetic theory, Padé approximants and Landau fluid closures
P. Hunana, A. Tenerani, G. P. Zank +7
In Part 2 of our guide to collisionless fluid models, we concentrate on Landau fluid closures. These closures were pioneered by Hammett and Perkins and allow for the rigorous incor…
An introductory guide to fluid models with anisotropic temperatures Part 1 -- CGL description and collisionless fluid hierarchy
P. Hunana, A. Tenerani, G. P. Zank +7
We present a detailed guide to advanced collisionless fluid models that incorporate kinetic effects into the fluid framework, and that are much closer to the collisionless kinetic…
