Reduced Effective Viscosity from Anisotropic Transport and Plasma Instabilities in the Sloshing Cores of Galaxy Clusters
John A. ZuHone, Stephen Majeski, Annie Heinrich +3
The G magnetic field in the intracluster medium (ICM) introduces a pressure anisotropy with respect to the magnetic field's direction that manifests as an anisotropic visco…
Cosmic-ray transport in inhomogeneous media
Robert J. Ewart, Patrick Reichherzer, Shuzhe Ren +6
A theory of cosmic-ray transport in multi-phase diffusive media is developed, with the specific application to cases in which the cosmic-ray diffusion coefficient has large spatial…
Self-organization in collisionless, high- turbulence
S. Majeski, M. W. Kunz, J. Squire
The MHD equations, as a collisional fluid model that remains in local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE), have long been used to describe turbulence in myriad space and astrophysical…
On hydromagnetic wave interactions in collisionless, high- plasmas
Stephen Majeski, Matthew W. Kunz
We describe the interaction of parallel-propagating Alfvén waves with ion-acoustic waves and other Alfvén waves, in magnetized, high- collisionless plasmas. This is accomplished…
