速度切变引起的压力各向异性和小空间尺度

Pressure anisotropy and small spatial scales induced by velocity shear

Daniele Del Sarto, Francesco Pegoraro, Francesco Califano

摘要:

非麦克斯韦亚平衡可以存在于低碰撞性等离子体中,这一点已被卫星和实验室测量所证实。通过在流体等离子体模型中包含全压力张量动力学,我们表明剪切速度场可以提供一种有效的机制,使初始各向同性状态各向异性和agyrotropic。本文讨论了磁弹性波的传播如何影响由磁场和流动应变张量共同作用引起的压力张量各向异性及其空间取向。我们通过描述压力张量演化的非线性方程的数值积分来支持这种分析。

英文摘要:

Non-Maxwellian metaequilibria can exist in low-collisionality plasmas as evidenced by satellite and laboratory measurements. By including the full pressure tensor dynamics in a fluid plasma model, we show that a sheared velocity field can provide an effective mechanism that makes an initial isotropic state anisotropic and agyrotropic. We discuss how the propagation of magneto-elastic waves can affect the pressure tensor anisotropization and its spatial filamentation which are due to the action of both the magnetic field and flow strain tensor. We support this analysis by a numerical integration of the nonlinear equations describing the pressure tensor evolution.
