Magneto-immutable turbulence in weakly collisional plasmas
Jonathan Squire, Alexander A. Schekochihin, Eliot Quataert +1
We propose that pressure anisotropy causes weakly collisional turbulent plasmas to self-organize so as to resist changes in magnetic-field strength. We term this effect "magneto-im…
Onset of magnetic reconnection in a collisionless, high-beta plasma
Andrew Alt, Matthew W. Kunz
In a magnetized, collisionless plasma, the magnetic moment of the constituent particles is an adiabatic invariant. An increase in the magnetic-field strength in such a plasma thus…
Electron-only magnetic reconnection in plasma turbulence
F. Califano, S. S. Cerri, M. Faganello +3
Hybrid-Vlasov-Maxwell simulations of magnetized plasma turbulence including non-linear electron-inertia effects in a generalized Ohm's law are presented. When fluctuation energy is…
Fluctuation Dynamo in a Collisionless, Weakly Magnetized Plasma
Denis A. St-Onge, Matthew W. Kunz
Results from a numerical study of fluctuation dynamo in a collisionless, weakly magnetized plasma are presented. The key difference between this dynamo and its magnetohydrodynamic…
Dual phase-space cascades in 3D hybrid-Vlasov-Maxwell turbulence
S. S. Cerri, M. W. Kunz, F. Califano
To explain energy dissipation via turbulence in collisionless, magnetized plasmas, the existence of a dual real- and velocity-space cascade of ion-entropy fluctuations below the io…
