膨胀等离子体中的电子温度各向异性:Particle-in-Cell模拟

Electron temperature anisotropy in an expanding plasma: Particle-in-Cell simulations

Enrico Camporeale, David Burgess

摘要:

我们进行完全动力学粒子在细胞模拟的热等离子体,在一个圆柱形的几何形状径向膨胀。本文的目的是研究在无碰撞恒星风中发现的膨胀等离子体流中电子温度各向异性的随之而来的发展。动力学等离子体理论和模拟表明,电子温度各向异性是由电磁动力学不稳定性驱动的波动控制的。在这项研究中,温度各向异性是由膨胀自洽驱动的。虽然膨胀有利于平行各向异性($T_\parallel>T_\perp$)的增加,消防水龙带不稳定性的发病将趋于减少it. We显示的结果为超音速,亚音速,静态膨胀流,并建议可能的应用结果为太阳风和其他恒星风。

英文摘要:

We perform fully-kinetic particle-in-cell simulations of an hot plasma that expands radially in a cylindrical geometry. The aim of the paper is to study the consequent development of the electron temperature anisotropy in an expanding plasma flow as found in a collisionless stellar wind. Kinetic plasma theory and simulations have shown that the electron temperature anisotropy is controlled by fluctuations driven by electromagnetic kinetic instabilities. In this study the temperature anisotropy is driven self-consistently by the expansion. While the expansion favors an increase of parallel anisotropy ($T_\parallel>T_\perp$), the onset of the firehose instability will tend to decrease it. We show the results for a supersonic, subsonic, and static expansion flows, and suggest possible applications of the results for the solar wind and other stellar winds.
