Kinetic Turbulence

Gregory G. Howes

摘要:

在许多弥漫的天体物理等离子体湍流的典型弱碰撞失效的MHD描述的湍流动力学,激励发展一个更全面的理论动力学湍流。特别是,动力学的方法是必不可少的物理机制负责的天体物理湍流的耗散和由此产生的加热等离子体的调查。本章回顾了MHD湍流理论的局限性,并解释了如何将动力学考虑纳入到天体物理等离子体湍流的动力学理论中。确定了驱动当前研究工作的动力学湍流的性质的关键问题。一个全面的动力学湍流级联模型,详细讨论了模型的每个组成部分,并回顾了支持和冲突的理论,数值和观测证据。

英文摘要:

The weak collisionality typical of turbulence in many diffuse astrophysical plasmas invalidates an MHD description of the turbulent dynamics, motivating the development of a more comprehensive theory of kinetic turbulence. In particular, a kinetic approach is essential for the investigation of the physical mechanisms responsible for the dissipation of astrophysical turbulence and the resulting heating of the plasma. This chapter reviews the limitations of MHD turbulence theory and explains how kinetic considerations may be incorporated to obtain a kinetic theory for astrophysical plasma turbulence. Key questions about the nature of kinetic turbulence that drive current research efforts are identified. A comprehensive model of the kinetic turbulent cascade is presented, with a detailed discussion of each component of the model and a review of supporting and conflicting theoretical, numerical, and observational evidence.
