A generalized k-epsilon model for turbulence modulation in fluid-particle flows
Roar Skartlien, Teresa Lynne Palmer, Olaf Skjæraasen
A large amount of published data show that particles with diameter above 10\% of the turbulence integral length scale () tend to increase the turbulent kinetic energy of…
The "sigma" problem of the Crab pulsar wind
J. G. Kirk, O. Skjaeraasen
The conversion of the Crab pulsar wind from one dominated by Poynting flux close to the star to one dominated by particle-born energy at the termination shock is considered. The id…
Dissipation in Poynting-flux Dominated Flows: the Sigma-Problem of the Crab Pulsar Wind
J. G. Kirk, O. Skjaeraasen
Flows in which energy is transported predominantly as Poynting flux are thought to occur in pulsars, gamma-ray bursts and relativistic jets from compact objects. The fluctuating co…
A wind model for high energy pulses
J. G. Kirk, O. Skjaeraasen, Y. A. Gallant
A solution to the sigma problem - that of finding a mechanism capable of converting Poynting energy flux to particle-borne energy flux in a pulsar wind - was proposed several years…
Pulsed radiation from neutron star winds
J. G. Kirk, O. Skjaeraasen, Y. A. Gallant
The radiation of a pulsar wind is computed assuming that at roughly 10 to 100 light cylinder radii from the star, magnetic energy is dissipated into particle energy. The synchrotro…
