Formulation of a one-dimensional electrostatic plasma model for testing the validity of kinetic theory
Francesco Pegoraro, Philip J. Morrison, Davide Manzini +1
We present a one-dimensional (1-D) model composed of aligned, electrostatically interacting charged disks, conceived in order to address in a computable model the validity of the B…
Spectral properties and energy transfer at kinetic scales in collisionless plasma turbulence
Giuseppe Arrò, Francesco Califano, Giovanni Lapenta
By means of a fully kinetic simulation of freely decaying plasma turbulence, we study the spectral properties and the energy exchanges characterizing the turbulent cascade in the k…
Pressure anisotropy generation in a magnetized plasma configuration with a shear flow velocity
S. De Camillis, S. S. Cerri, F. Califano +1
The nonlinear evolution of the Kelvin Helmholtz instability in a magnetized plasma with a perpendicular flow close to, or in, the supermagnetosonic regime can produce a significant…
Pressure tensor in the presence of velocity shear: stationary solutions and self-consistent equilibria
S. S. Cerri, F. Pegoraro, F. Califano +2
Observations and numerical simulations of laboratory and space plasmas in almost collisionless regimes reveal anisotropic and non-gyrotropic particle distribution functions. We inv…
Nonlinear evolution of the magnetized Kelvin-Helmholtz instability: from fluid to kinetic modeling
P. Henri, S. S. Cerri, F. Califano +11
The nonlinear evolution of collisionless plasmas is typically a multi-scale process where the energy is injected at large, fluid scales and dissipated at small, kinetic scales. Acc…
Response to Comment on `Undamped electrostatic plasma waves' [Phys. Plasmas 19, 092103 (2012)]
F. Valentini, D. Perrone, F. Califano +4
Numerical and experimental evidence is given for the occurrence of the plateau states and concomitant corner modes proposed in \cite{valentini12}. It is argued that these states pr…
On the transition between the Weibel and the whistler instabilities
L. Palodhi, F. Califano, F. Pegoraro
The transition between non resonant (Weibel-type) and resonant (whistler) instabilities is investigated numerically in plasma configurations with an ambient magnetic field of incre…
Nonlinear Kinetic Development of the Weibel Instability and the generation of electrostatic coherent structures
L. Palodhi, F. Califano, F. Pegoraro
The nonlinear evolution of the Weibel instability driven by the anisotropy of the electron distribution function in a collisionless plasma is investigated in a spatially one-dimens…
Nonlinear Kinetic Dynamics of Magnetized Weibel Instability
L. Palodhi, F. Califano, F. Pegoraro
Kinetic numerical simulations of the evolution of the Weibel instability during the full nonlinear regime are presented. The formation of strong distortions in the electron distrib…
