Particle Acceleration in Magnetized Shear-Driven Turbulence
Mingxuan Liu, Mateusz Ruszkowski, Ellen Zweibel +5
Shear flows, ubiquitous in space and astrophysical plasmas, can accelerate particles through turbulence excited by the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability. We present the first numerical…
Magnetohydrodynamic-guiding-center-particle-in-cell Method for Multiscale Plasma Kinetic Simulations
Zitao Hu, Xue-Ning Bai, Xiaochen Sun
We present the formulation, algorithm and numerical tests of the magnetohydrodynamic-particle-in-cell (MHD-PIC) method with particles treated under the guiding center approximation…
Linear Analysis and Simulations of the Cosmic-Ray Streaming Instability: the Importance of Oblique Waves
Shuzhe Zeng, Xue-Ning Bai, Xiaochen Sun
Cosmic-ray (CR) streaming instability (CRSI) is believed to play an important role in CR transport and CR feedback to galaxies. It drives the growth of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) wa…
