Acceleration of energetic particles by large-scale compressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence
Benjamin D. G. Chandran, Jason L. Maron
Fast particles diffusing along magnetic field lines in a turbulent plasma can diffuse through and then return to the same eddy many times before the eddy is randomized in the turbu…
Particle acceleration by slow modes in strong compressible MHD turbulence, with application to solar flares
Benjamin D. G. Chandran
Energetic particles that undergo strong pitch-angle scattering and diffuse through a plasma containing strong compressible MHD turbulence undergo diffusion in momentum space with d…
A review of the theory of incompressible MHD turbulence
Benjamin D. G. Chandran
This brief invited review provides an introduction to key ideas in the theory of incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence.
The divergence of neighboring magnetic field lines and fast-particle diffusion in strong magnetohydrodynamic turbulence, with application to thermal conduction in galaxy clusters
Jason L. Maron, Benjamin D. G. Chandran, Eric G. Blackman
We investigate field-line separation in strong MHD turbulence using direct numerical simulations. We find that in the static-magnetic-field approximation the thermal conductivity i…
Thermal conduction and particle transport in strong MHD turbulence, with application to galaxy-cluster plasmas
Benjamin D. G. Chandran, Jason L. Maron
We investigate field-line separation in strong MHD turbulence analytically and with direct numerical simulations. We find that in the static-magnetic-field approximation the therma…
