Yet Another Modification of Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamic Waves: Electron Thermal Inertia

Y. Kawazura

This study investigates the properties of waves in relativistic extended magnetohydrodynamics (RXMHD), which includes Hall and electron thermal inertia effects. We focus on the cas…

Calliope: Pseudospectral shearing magnetohydrodynamics code with a pencil decomposition

Y. Kawazura

The pseudospectral method is a highly accurate numerical scheme suitable for turbulence simulations. We have developed an open-source pseudospectral code, \textsc{\textsf{Calliope}…

Energy partition between Alfvénic and compressive fluctuations in magnetorotational turbulence with near-azimuthal mean magnetic field

Y. Kawazura, A. A. Schekochihin, M. Barnes +2

The theory of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence predicts that Alfvénic and slow-mode-like compressive fluctuations are energetically decoupled at small scales in the inertial ra…

Ion versus electron heating in compressively driven astrophysical gyrokinetic turbulence

Y. Kawazura, A. A. Schekochihin, M. Barnes +4

The partition of irreversible heating between ions and electrons in compressively driven (but subsonic) collisionless turbulence is investigated by means of nonlinear hybrid gyroki…

Constraints on ion vs. electron heating by plasma turbulence at low beta

A. A. Schekochihin, Y. Kawazura, M. A. Barnes

It is shown that in low-beta, weakly collisional plasmas, such as the solar corona, some instances of the solar wind, the aurora, inner regions of accretion discs, their coronae, a…

Thermal disequilibration of ions and electrons by collisionless plasma turbulence

Yohei Kawazura, Michael Barnes, Alexander A. Schekochihin

Does overall thermal equilibrium exist between ions and electrons in a weakly collisional, magnetised, turbulent plasma---and, if not, how is thermal energy partitioned between ion…
