动力学Alfvén波的线性和非线性朗道共振:太阳风中电子分布和波谱的结果

Leonid Rudakov, Manish Mithaiwala, Gurudas Ganguli, Chris Crabtree

摘要:

研究了太阳风中的动力学Alfven波湍流,结果表明非麦克斯韦电子分布函数对太阳风等离子体动力学有重要影响。线性朗道阻尼导致平行电子分布函数中的平台的形成,其显著减小朗道阻尼率。波的非线性散射等离子体粒子被推广到短波长,它被发现,对于太阳风参数,这种散射是占主导地位的过程相比,三波衰减和合并的波矢量范围。合并这些影响导致陡峭的频谱之间的惯性和耗散范围的频谱指数在2和3之间。该区域可以被标记为散射范围。在太阳风等离子体中已经观察到这种陡峭化。

英文摘要:

Kinetic Alfven wave turbulence in solar wind is considered and it is shown that non-Maxwellian electron distribution function has a significant effect on the dynamics of the solar wind plasmas. Linear Landau damping leads to the formation of a plateau in the parallel electron distribution function which diminishes the Landau damping rate significantly. Nonlinear scattering of waves by plasma particles is generalized to short wavelengths and it is found that for the solar wind parameters this scattering is the dominant process as compared to three wave decay and coalescence in the wave vector range . Incorporation of these effects lead to the steepening of the wave spectrum between the inertial and the dissipation ranges with a spectral index between 2 and 3. This region can be labeled as the scattering range. Such steepening has been observed in the solar wind plasmas.
