Magnetofluid dynamics of magnetized cosmic plasma: firehose and gyrothermal instabilities
A. A. Schekochihin, S. C. Cowley, F. Rincon +1
Both global dynamics and turbulence in magnetized weakly collisional cosmic plasmas are described by general magnetofluid equations that contain pressure anisotropies and heat flux…
Critical balance in magnetohydrodynamic, rotating and stratified turbulence: towards a universal scaling conjecture
S. V. Nazarenko, A. A. Schekochihin
It is proposed that critical balance - a scale-by-scale balance between the linear propagation and nonlinear interaction time scales - can be used as a universal scaling conjecture…
Turbulent Magnetic Reconnection in Two Dimensions
N. F. Loureiro, D. A. Uzdensky, A. A. Schekochihin +2
Two-dimensional numerical simulations of the effect of background turbulence on 2D resistive magnetic reconnection are presented. For sufficiently small values of the resistivity (…
Two-dimensional gyrokinetic turbulence
G. G. Plunk, S. C. Cowley, A. A. Schekochihin +1
Two-dimensional gyrokinetics is a simple paradigm for the study of kinetic magnetised plasma turbulence. In this paper, we present a comprehensive theoretical framework for this tu…
Formation of Plasmoid Chains in Magnetic Reconnection
R. Samtaney, N. F. Loureiro, D. A. Uzdensky +2
A detailed numerical study of magnetic reconnection in resistive MHD for very large, previously inaccessible, Lundquist numbers () is reported. Large-aspect-rati…
