Numerical investigation of kinetic instabilities in BGK equilibria under collisional effects
Sofia Zanelli, Gabriele Celebre, Sergio Servidio +1
An unstable one-dimensional Bernstein-Greene-Kruskal (BGK) mode has been studied through high-precision numerical simulations. The initial turbulent, periodic equilibrium state is…
An Exact Turbulence Law For the Fluid Description of Fusion Edge Plasmas
Luisa Scarivaglione, Sergio Servidio
Understanding turbulence via simplified fluid models is crucial for optimizing magnetic confinement in tokamak devices. In this work, we propose a novel high-order turbulence law t…
Non-Maxwellianity of Ion Velocity Distributions in the Earth's Magnetosheath
Louis Richard, Sergio Servidio, Ida Svenningsson +6
We analyze the deviations from local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) of the ion velocity distribution function (iVDF) in collisionless plasma turbulence. Using data from the Magnet…
