Alfvénic Solitary and Shock Waves in Plasmas

, 2012
We present a review of nonlinear Alfvénic solitary and shock waves in a magnetized electron-ion plasma. The dynamics of these nonlinear dispersive Alfvén waves is governed by the two-fluid equations, coupled with Faraday’s and Ampère’s laws.

The Plasma in Interplanetary Space [PDF]

, 1965
After a review of relevant observations the state of motion of the interplanetary plasma and the properties of the interplanetary magnetic fields including their relation to those of the sun are discussed with reference to published theoretical models and to a model recently discussed by R. Lust and the author. Finally, a brief account is given of some

Phase space vortices in collisionless plasmas [PDF]

Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2003
Results on the formation and propagation of electron phase space vortices from laboratory experiments are summarized. The electron phase space vortices were excited in a strongly magnetized Q-machine plasma by applying a pulse to a segment of a ...

Studies of zonal flows driven by drift mode turbulence in laboratory and space plasmas

, 2008
The interaction between broadband drift mode turbulence and zonal flows is an important topic associated with transport at plasma boundaries. The generation of zonal flows by the modulational instability of broad band drift waves has resulted in the ...

What Defines Stationarity in Space Plasmas

The Astrophysical Journal
Starting from the concept of entropy defect in thermodynamics, we construct the entropy formulation of space plasmas, and then use it to develop a measure of their stationarity.

Complexity and Intermittent Turbulence in Space Plasmas [PDF]

, 2004
Sporadic and localized interactions of coherent structures arising from plasma resonances can be the origin of "complexity" of the coexistence of non- propagating spatiotemporal fluctuations and propagating modes in space plasmas.

Two-dimensional full-wave simulations of waves in space and tokamak plasmas

, 2018
We illustrate the capabilities of a recently developed two-dimensional full wave code (FW2D) in space and tokamak plasmas by adopting various values of density, magnetic field configuration and strength as well as boundary shape.

The influence of Hall currents, plasma viscosity and electron inertia on magnetic reconnection solutions [PDF]

, 2007
This thesis examines magnetic reconnection in the solar corona. Magnetic reconnection is the only mechanism which allows the magnetic topology of magnetized plasmas to be changed. Many of the dynamic processes in the Sun's atmosphere are believed to be
