Exact hybrid-kinetic equilibria for magnetized plasmas with shearing flows
Giovanni Guzzi, Adriana Settino, Francesco Valentini +1
Context. Magnetized plasmas characterized by shearing flows are present in many natural contexts, such as the Earth's magnetopause and the solar wind. The collisionless nature of i…
Kelvin-Helmholtz instability at proton scales with an exact kinetic equilibrium
A. Settino, F. Malara, O. Pezzi +3
The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability is a ubiquitous physical process in ordinary fluids and plasmas, frequently observed also in space environments. In this paper, kinetic effects at…
Kinetic Alfvén wave generation by velocity shear in collisionless plasmas
Teresa Maiorano, Adriana Settino, Francesco Malara +3
The evolution of a linearly-polarized, long-wavelength Alfvén wave --propagating in a collisionless magnetized plasma with a sheared parallel-directed velocity flow-- is here studi…
