Simulating a pulsed power-driven plasma with ideal MHD
A. Beresnyak, A. L. Velikovich, J. L. Giuliani +4
We describe a simple practical numerical method for simulating plasma driven within a vacuum chamber by a pulsed power generator. Typically, in this type of simulation, the vacuum…
Stable and unstable supersonic stagnation of an axisymmetric rotating magnetized plasma
Andrey Beresnyak, Alexander L. Velikovich, John L. Giuliani +1
The Naval Research Laboratory "Mag Noh problem", described in this paper, is a self-similar magnetized implosion flow, which contains a fast MHD outward propagating shock of consta…
Major Scientific Challenges and Opportunities in Understanding Magnetic Reconnection and Related Explosive Phenomena in Solar and Heliospheric Plasmas
H. Ji, J. Karpen, A. Alt +105
Magnetic reconnection underlies many explosive phenomena in the heliosphere and in laboratory plasmas. The new research capabilities in theory/simulations, observations, and labora…
Major Scientific Challenges and Opportunities in Understanding Magnetic Reconnection and Related Explosive Phenomena throughout the Universe
H. Ji, A. Alt, S. Antiochos +97
This white paper summarizes major scientific challenges and opportunities in understanding magnetic reconnection and related explosive phenomena as a fundamental plasma process.
MHD Turbulence
Andrey Beresnyak
We review the current status of research in MHD turbulence theory and numerical experiments and their applications to astrophysics and solar science. We introduce general tools for…
Self-similar energetics in large clusters of galaxies
Francesco Miniati, Andrey Beresnyak
Massive galaxy clusters are filled with a hot, turbulent and magnetized intra-cluster medium. Still forming under the action of gravitational instability, they grow in mass by accr…
