Acceleration of Relativistic Electrons by MHD Turbulence: Implications for Non-thermal Emission from Black Hole Accretion Disks
Jacob W. Lynn, Eliot Quataert, Benjamin D. G. Chandran +1
We use analytic estimates and numerical simulations of test particles interacting with magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence to show that subsonic MHD turbulence produces efficient…
The Efficiency of Second-Order Fermi Acceleration by Weakly Compressible MHD Turbulence
Jacob W. Lynn, Eliot Quataert, Benjamin D. G. Chandran +1
We investigate the effects of pitch-angle scattering on the efficiency of particle heating and acceleration by MHD turbulence using phenomenological estimates and simulations of no…
Resonance Broadening and Heating of Charged Particles in Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
Jacob W. Lynn, Ian J. Parrish, Eliot Quataert +1
The heating, acceleration, and pitch-angle scattering of charged particles by MHD turbulence are important in a wide range of astrophysical environments, including the solar wind,…
Learning about non-Newtonian fluids in a student-driven classroom
D. R. Dounas-Frazer, J. Lynn, A. M. Zaniewski +1
We describe a simple, low-cost experiment and corresponding pedagogical strategies for studying fluids whose viscosities depend on shear rate, referred to as non-Newtonian fluids.…
