Turbulence in Galaxy Cluster Cores: a Key to Cluster Bimodality?
Ian J. Parrish, Eliot Quataert, Prateek Sharma
We study the effects of externally imposed turbulence on the thermal properties of galaxy cluster cores, using three-dimensional numerical simulations including magnetic fields, an…
Turbulence and Mixing in the Intracluster Medium
P. Sharma, B. D. G. Chandran, E. Quataert +1
The intracluster medium (ICM) is stably stratified in the hydrodynamic sense with the entropy increasing outwards. However, thermal conduction along magnetic field lines fundam…
The Heating of Test Particles in Numerical Simulations of Alfvenic Turbulence
Remi Lehe, Ian J. Parrish, Eliot Quataert
We study the heating of charged test particles in three-dimensional numerical simulations of weakly compressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence (``Alfvenic turbulence''); the…
Anisotropic Thermal Conduction and the Cooling Flow Problem in Galaxy Clusters
Ian J. Parrish, Eliot Quataert, Prateek Sharma
We examine the long-standing cooling flow problem in galaxy clusters with 3D MHD simulations of isolated clusters including radiative cooling and anisotropic thermal conduction alo…
Buoyancy Instabilities in Galaxy Clusters: Convection Due to Adiabatic Cosmic Rays and Anisotropic Thermal Conduction
P. Sharma, B. D. G. Chandran, E. Quataert +1
Using a linear stability analysis and two and three-dimensional nonlinear simulations, we study the physics of buoyancy instabilities in a combined thermal and relativistic (cosmic…
