Generalized slab universal instability and its appearance in pair plasma
Ben Zhu, Manaure Francisquez, Barrett N. Rogers +1
A generalized linear dispersion relation of electromagnetic slab universal modes is derived, taking into account arbitrary ion charge state, electron finite Larmor radius (FLR) eff…
Fluid & Gyrokinetic turbulence in open field-line, helical plasmas
Manaure Francisquez, Tess N. Bernard, Ben Zhu +3
Two-fluid Braginskii codes have simulated open-field line turbulence for over a decade, and only recently has it become possible to study these systems with continuum gyrokinetic c…
Global turbulence simulations of the tokamak edge region with GRILLIX
A. Stegmeir, A. Ross, T. Body +8
Turbulent dynamics in the scrape-off layer (SOL) of magnetic fusion devices is intermittent with large fluctuations in density and pressure. Therefore, a model is required that all…
Gyrokinetic theory of slab universal modes and the non-existence of the Gradient Drift Coupling (GDC) instability
Barrett N. Rogers, Ben Zhu, Manaure Francisquez
A gyrokinetic linear stability analysis of a collisionless slab geometry in the local approximation is presented. We focus on universal (or entropy) modes driven by…
Perpendicular Ion Heating by Low-Frequency Alfven-Wave Turbulence in the Solar Wind
Benjamin D. G. Chandran, Bo Li, Barrett N. Rogers +2
We consider ion heating by turbulent Alfven waves (AWs) and kinetic Alfven waves (KAWs) with perpendicular wavelengths comparable to the ion gyroradius and frequencies smaller than…
Fast Reconnection in High-Lundquist-Number Plasmas Due to Secondary Tearing Instabilities
A. Bhattacharjee, Yi-Min Huang, H. Yang +1
Thin current sheets in systems of large size that exceed a critical value of the Lundquist number are unstable to a super-Alfvenic tearing instability. The scaling of the growth ra…
