Bohm criterion of plasma sheaths away from asymptotic limit
Yuzhi Li, Bhuvana Srinivasan, Yanzeng Zhang +1
The plasma exit flow speed at the sheath entrance is constrained by the Bohm criterion. The so-called Bohm speed regulates the plasma particle and power exhaust fluxes to the wall,…
Modeling the dominance of the gradient drift or Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in sheared ionospheric E x B flows
C. Rathod, B. Srinivasan, W. Scales
Studies have shown that in sheared flows in an inhomogeneous ionospheric plasma, the gradient drift (GDI) or the Kelvin-Helmholtz (KHI) instability may…
A boundary value "reservoir problem" and boundary conditions for multi-moment multifluid simulations of sheaths
Petr Cagas, Ammar Hakim, Bhuvana Srinivasan
Multifluid simulations of plasma sheaths are increasingly used to model a wide variety of problems in plasma physics ranging from global magnetospheric flows around celestial bodie…
Role of electron inertia and electron/ion finite Larmor radius effects in low-beta, magneto-Rayleigh-Taylor instability
Bhuvana Srinivasan, Ammar Hakim
The magneto-Rayleigh-Taylor (MRT) instability has been investigated in great detail in previous work using magnetohydrodynamic and kinetic models for low-beta plasmas. The work pre…
Nonlinear saturation of the Weibel instability
Petr Cagas, Ammar Hakim, Wayne Scales +1
The growth and saturation of magnetic fields due to the Weibel instability (WI) have important implications for laboratory and astrophysical plasmas, and this has drawn significant…
