Alfven Wave Collisions, The Fundamental Building Block of Plasma Turbulence III: Theory for Experimental Design
G. G. Howes, K. D. Nielson, D. J. Drake +4
Turbulence in space and astrophysical plasmas is governed by the nonlinear interactions between counterpropagating Alfven waves. Here we present the theoretical considerations behi…
Alfven Wave Collisions, The Fundamental Building Block of Plasma Turbulence II: Numerical Solution
Kevin D. Nielson, Gregory G. Howes, William Dorland
This paper presents the numerical verification of an asymptotic analytical solution for the nonlinear interaction between counterpropagating Alfven waves, the fundamental building…
Alfven Wave Collisions, The Fundamental Building Block of Plasma Turbulence I: Asymptotic Solution
Gregory G. Howes, Kevin D. Nielson
The nonlinear interaction between counterpropagating Alfven waves is the physical mechanism underlying the cascade of energy to small scales in astrophysical plasma turbulence. Beg…
Toward Astrophysical Turbulence in the Laboratory
G. G. Howes, D. J. Drake, K. D. Nielson +3
Turbulence is a ubiquitous phenomenon in space and astrophysical plasmas, driving a cascade of energy from large to small scales and strongly influencing the plasma heating resulti…
