Particle Acceleration in Magnetized Shear-Driven Turbulence
Mingxuan Liu, Mateusz Ruszkowski, Ellen Zweibel +5
Shear flows, ubiquitous in space and astrophysical plasmas, can accelerate particles through turbulence excited by the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability. We present the first numerical…

Rayleigh-Taylor Unstable Flames: the Effect of Two-Mode Coupling
Mingxuan Liu, Elizabeth P. Hicks
In the classical Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability, initial conditions are forgotten and the growth of the mixing layer becomes self-similar when short wavelength modes couple to ge…
