Kinetic Simulations of Magnetized Turbulence in Astrophysical Plasmas
G. G. Howes, W. Dorland, S. C. Cowley +4
This letter presents the first ab initio, fully electromagnetic, kinetic simulations of magnetized turbulence in a homogeneous, weakly collisional plasma at the scale of the ion La…
Preserving Monotonicity in Anisotropic Diffusion
Prateek Sharma, Gregory W. Hammett
We show that standard algorithms for anisotropic diffusion based on centered differencing (including the recent symmetric algorithm) do not preserve monotonicity. In the context of…
Instability of current sheets and formation of plasmoid chains
N. F. Loureiro, A. A. Schekochihin, S. C. Cowley
Current sheets formed in magnetic reconnection events are found to be unstable to high-wavenumber perturbations. The instability is very fast: its maximum growth rate scales as S^{…
Traveling waves in magnetized Taylor-Couette flow
Wei Liu, Jeremy Goodman, Hantao Ji
We investigate numerically a traveling wave pattern observed in experimental magnetized Taylor-Couette flow at low magnetic Reynolds number. By accurately modeling viscous and magn…
