The Modification of the Nonlinear Guiding Center Theory

Abstract

We modify the NonLinear Guiding Center (NLGC) theory (Matthaeus et al. 2003) for perpendicular diffusion by replacing the spectral amplitude of the two-component model magnetic turbulence with the 2D component one (following Shalchi 2006), and replacing the constant $a^2$, indicating the degree particles following magnetic field line, with a variable $a^{\prime 2}$ as a function of the magnetic turbulence. We combine the modified model with the NonLinear PArallel (NLPA) diffusion theory (Qin 2007) to solve perpendicular and parallel diffusion coefficients simultaneously. It is shown that the new model agrees better with simulations. Furthermore, we fit the numerical results of the new model with polynomials, so that parallel and perpendicular diffusion coefficients can be calculated directly without iteration of integrations, and many numerical calculations can be reduced.
