Hamiltonian formulations of quasilinear theory for magnetized plasmas
Hamiltonian formulations of quasilinear theory are presented for the cases of uniform and nonuniform magnetized plasmas. First, the standard quasilinear theory of Kennel and Engelmann (Kennel, Phys. Fluids, 1966, 9, 2377) is reviewed and reinterpreted in

Comparison of Saturation Rules Used for Gyrokinetic Quasilinear Transport Modeling
Theory-based transport modeling has been widely successful and is built on the foundations of quasilinear theory. Specifically, the quasilinear expression of the flux can be used in combination with a saturation rule for the toroidal mode amplitude. Most

We derive weak turbulence and quasilinear models for relativistic charged particle dynamics in pitch-angle and energy space, due to interactions with electromagnetic waves propagating (anti-)parallel to a uniform background magnetic field.

Quasilinear Parabolic Equations Associated with Semilinear Parabolic Equations
We formulate a quasilinear parabolic equation describing the behavior of the global-in-time solution to a semilinear parabolic equation. We study this equation in accordance with the blow-up and quenching patterns of the solution to the original ...

Expanding-box Quasilinear Model of the Solar Wind
The expanding-box model of the solar wind has been adopted in the literature within the context of magnetohydrodynamics, hybrid, and full particle-in-cell simulations to investigate the dynamic evolution of the solar wind.

Quasilinear gyrokinetic theory: a derivation of QuaLiKiz [PDF]
In order to predict and analyse turbulent transport in tokamaks, it is important to model transport that arises from microinstabilities. For this task, quasilinear codes have been developed that seek to calculate particle, angular momentum and heat fluxes, both quickly and accurately.

Turbulence in space plasmas usually exhibits two regimes separated by a spectral break that divides the so called inertial and kinetic ranges. Large scale magnetic fluctuations are dominated by non-linear MHD wave-wave interactions following a −5/3 or −2

In this paper, a class of quasilinear Schrödinger equations with discontinuous nonlinearity is considered. After changing variables, by using nonsmooth critical point theory, we obtain the existence and concentration of positive solutions for this ...

Turbulence in space plasmas usually exhibits an energy cascade in which large-scale magnetic fluctuations are dominated by non-linear MHD wave–wave interactions following a Kolmogorov-like power-law spectrum.
