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…

High-beta runaway transitions in a fluid model of electromagnetic ion-temperature-gradient turbulence
Y. Zhang, M. Barnes, A. A. Schekochihin +2
Gyrokinetic simulations of tokamak turbulence indicate that fluctuation levels increase abruptly and dramatically when the plasma beta exceeds a certain critical value. This increa…

Double-Adiabatic Equations of State for Relativistic Plasmas
Agnieszka Wierzchucka, Pablo J. Bilbao, Alexander G. R. Thomas +2
The adiabatic equation of state describes the pressure evolution of highly collisional, isotropic plasmas in terms of their density, providing a possible closure of…
