Synchronization of Dust Acoustic Waves in a forced Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers model
Ajaz Mir, Sanat Tiwari, Abhijit Sen +3
The synchronization of dust acoustic waves to an external periodic source is studied in the framework of a driven Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers equation that takes into account the app…
MMS Observations of a Compressed Current Sheet: Importance of the Ambipolar Electric Field
Ami M. DuBois, Chris Crabtree, Gurudas Ganguli +2
Spacecraft data reveals a nonuniform ambipolar electric field transverse to the magnetic field in a thin magnetotail current sheet that leads to intense ExB velocity shear and non-…
Behavior of Compressed Plasmas in Magnetic Fields
Gurudas Ganguli, Chris Crabtree, Alex Fletcher +1
Plasma in the earth's magnetosphere is subjected to compression during geomagnetically active periods and relaxation in subsequent quiet times. Repeated compression and relaxation…
Convective Amplification of Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron Waves From Ring-distribution Protons in the Inner Magnetosphere
Manish Mithaiwala, Chris Crabtree, Gurudas Ganguli +2
The growth of electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves (EMIC) due to a ring distribution of Hydrogen ions is examined. Though these distributions are more commonly implicated in the gen…
Analysis of Winske-Daughton 3D Electromagnetic Particle Simulation of Ion Ring Generated Lower Hybrid Turbulence
Leonid Rudakov, Chris Crabtree, Manish Mithaiwala +1
Using electromagnetic particle-in-cell simulations Winske and Daughton [Phys Plasmas, 19, 072109, 2012] have recently demonstrated that the nonlinear evolution of a wave turbulence…
Co-existence of Whistler Waves with Kinetic Alfven Wave Turbulence for the High-beta Solar Wind Plasma
Manish Mithaiwala, Leonid Rudakov, Chris Crabtree +1
It is shown that the dispersion relation for whistler waves is identical for a high or low beta plasma. Furthermore in the high-beta solar wind plasma whistler waves meet the Landa…
Weak Turbulence in the Magnetosphere: Formation of Whistler Wave Cavity by Nonlinear Scattering
C. Crabtree, L. Rudakov, G. Ganguli +3
We consider the weak turbulence of whistler waves in the in low-β inner magnetosphere of the Earth. Whistler waves with frequencies, originating in the ionosphere, propagate radial…
A Concept For Elimination Of Small Orbital Debris
Gurudas Ganguli, Christopher Crabtree, Leonid Rudakov +1
A concept for forced reentry of small orbital debris with characteristic dimension ~ 10 cm from the highly populated sun synchronous orbit by injecting micron scale dust grains to…
Weak turbulence theory of the non-linear evolution of the ion ring distribution
M. Mithaiwala, L. Rudakov1, G. Ganguli +1
The nonlinear evolution of an ion ring instability in a low-beta magnetospheric plasma is considered. The evolution of the two-dimensional ring distribution is essentially quasilin…
Quasilinear Evolution of Kinetic Alfven Wave Turbulence and Perpendicular Ion Heating in the Solar Wind
L. Rudakov, C. Crabtree, G. Ganguli +1
The measured spectrum of kinetic Alfven wave fluctuations in the turbulent solar wind plasma is used to calculate the electron and ion distribution functions resulting from quasi-l…
Linear and Non-Linear Landau Resonance of Kinetic Alfvén Waves: Consequences for Electron Distribution and Wave Spectrum in the Solar Wind
Leonid Rudakov, Manish Mithaiwala, Gurudas Ganguli +1
Kinetic Alfven wave turbulence in solar wind is considered and it is shown that non-Maxwellian electron distribution function has a significant effect on the dynamics of the solar…
