Minor Ions as a Diagnostic of Solar Wind Heating: Inverted Mass-to-Charge Scaling in Imbalanced Turbulence
Michael F. Zhang, Evan L. Yerger, Matthew W. Kunz +1
Alfvénic turbulence is vital to powering the solar wind and corona, yet eludes a comprehensive understanding of the kinetic processes by which it dissipates. Minor ions are sensiti…
Asymptotic scaling theory of electrostatic turbulent transport in magnetised fusion plasmas
T. Adkins, I. G. Abel, M. Barnes +8
Turbulent transport remains one of the principal obstacles to achieving efficient magnetic confinement in fusion devices. Two of the dominant drivers of the turbulence are microsca…
Quasi-linear theory of perpendicular ion heating by critically balanced turbulence
Zade Johnston, Jonathan Squire
In collisionless astrophysical plasmas, turbulence mediates the partitioning of free energy among cascade channels and its dissipation into ion and electron heat. The resulting ion…
Idealized Global Models of Accretion Disks with Strong Toroidal Magnetic Fields
Minghao Guo, Eliot Quataert, Jonathan Squire +2
We present global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of idealized accretion disks with a strong toroidal magnetic field using an equation of state that fixes the gas thermal sca…
Thermodynamics and collisionality in firehose-susceptible high- plasmas
A. F. A. Bott, M. W. Kunz, E. Quataert +2
We study the evolution of collisionless plasmas that, due to their macroscopic evolution, are susceptible to the firehose instability, using both analytic theory and hybrid-kinetic…
Rapid, strongly magnetized accretion in the zero-net-vertical-flux shearing box
Jonathan Squire, Eliot Quataert, Philip F. Hopkins
We show that there exist two qualitatively distinct turbulent states of the zero-net-vertical-flux shearing box. The first, which has been studied in detail previously, is characte…
