Turbulent Magnetogenesis and Large-scale Magnetic Dynamo Amplification in Ion--electron Plasmas
Fabio Bacchini, Francesco Pucci, Sergio Servidio +2
Using fully kinetic simulations that capture unprecedentedly large (from electron to ion) scales, we study magnetogenesis driven by continuous large-scale forcing until nonlinear d…
Inertial-Range Energy Transfer Free from Isotropic Assumption in Turbulent Space Plasma
Zhuoran Gao, Yan Yang, Francesco Pecora +5
The idea of an energy cascade in the inertial range is often invoked in turbulent space plasmas to estimate the energy dissipation rate. Laws governing the behavior of third-order…
Estimation of Effective Viscosity to Quantify Collisional Behavior in Collisionless Plasma
Subash Adhikari, Carlos Gonzalez, Yan Yang +4
While dissipation in collisional plasma is defined in terms of viscosity and resistivity, the exact functional form of dissipation i.e., the so-called dissipation function in nearl…
Revisiting compressible and incompressible pressure-strain interaction in kinetic plasma turbulence
Subash Adhikari, Yan Yang, William H. Matthaeus
In this study, we revisit the pressure-strain interaction in kinetic turbulence, and in particular we re-examine the decomposition of pressure-strain interaction into compressive a…
