The gyrokinetic dispersion relation of microtearing modes in collisionless toroidal plasmas
Benjamin D. G. Chandran, Alexander A. Schekochihin
We solve the linearized gyrokinetic equation, quasineutrality condition, and Ampere's law to obtain the dispersion relation of microtearing modes (MTMs) in collisionless low-beta t…
Exact nonlinear solutions for three-dimensional Alfvén-wave packets in relativistic magnetohydrodynamics
Alfred Mallet, Benjamin D. G. Chandran
We show that large-amplitude, non-planar, Alfvén wave (AW) packets are exact nonlinear solutions of the relativistic MHD equations when the total magnetic-field strength in the loc…
[Plasma 2020 Decadal] Multipoint Measurements of the Solar Wind: A Proposed Advance for Studying Magnetized Turbulence
K. G. Klein, O. Alexandrova, J. Bookbinder +21
A multi-institutional, multi-national science team will soon submit a NASA proposal to build a constellation of spacecraft to fly into the near-Earth solar wind in a swarm spanning…
Stochastic proton heating by kinetic-Alfvén-wave turbulence in moderately high- plasmas
Ian W. Hoppock, Benjamin D. G. Chandran, Kristopher G. Klein +2
Stochastic heating refers to an increase in the average magnetic moment of charged particles interacting with electromagnetic fluctuations whose frequencies are smaller than the pa…
Interplay between intermittency and dissipation in collisionless plasma turbulence
Alfred Mallet, Kristopher G. Klein, Benjamin D. G. Chandran +5
We study the damping of collisionless Alfvénic turbulence by two mechanisms: stochastic heating (whose efficiency depends on the local turbulence amplitude ) and linear Landa…
Disruption of Alfvénic turbulence by magnetic reconnection in a collisionless plasma
A. Mallet, A. A. Schekochihin, B. D. G. Chandran
We calculate the disruption scale at which sheet-like structures in dynamically aligned Alfvénic turbulence are destroyed by the onset of magnetic reconnection in a low…
Turbulent Dissipation Challenge -- Problem Description
Tulasi N Parashar, Chadi Salem, Robert Wicks +4
The goal of this document is to present a detailed description of the goals, simulation setup and diagnostics for the Turbulent Dissipation Challenge (arXiv:1303.0204) as discussed…
