Wave kinetics of drift-wave turbulence and zonal flows beyond the ray approximation
Hongxuan Zhu, Yao Zhou, D. E. Ruiz +1
Inhomogeneous drift-wave turbulence can be modeled as an effective plasma where drift waves act as quantumlike particles and the zonal-flow velocity serves as a collective field th…

Variational Integration for Ideal Magnetohydrodynamics and Formation of Current Singularities
Yao Zhou
Coronal heating has been a long-standing conundrum in solar physics. Parker's conjecture that spontaneous current singularities lead to nanoflares that heat the corona has been con…

Constructing current singularity in a 3D line-tied plasma
Yao Zhou, Yi-Min Huang, Hong Qin +1
We revisit Parker's conjecture of current singularity formation in 3D line-tied plasmas using a recently developed numerical method, variational integration for ideal magnetohydrod…
