相对论Buneman不稳定性的一维PIC模拟

One dimensional PIC simulation of relativistic Buneman instability

Roopendra Singh Rajawat, Sudip Sengupta

摘要:

利用自行开发的粒子模拟程序研究了相对论布尼曼不稳定性的一维时空演化。从不稳定性的激发开始,数值地跟踪了它的演化,直到它的淬灭和超越。与非相对论情形相比,最大生长速率($γ_{max}$)由于相对论效应而减小,并随$γ_{e0}$和m/M变化为$γ_{max} \sim \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{γ_{e0}}}\biglb(\frac{m}{2M}\bigrb)^{1/3}$,其中$γ_{e0}$是与初始电子漂移速度($v_{0}$)相关的洛伦兹因子,(m/M)是电子与离子的质量比.进一步观察到,与饱和点处的非相对论性结果[Hirose,Plasma Phys.20,481(1978)]相反,静电场能量密度($\sum\limits_{k} |E_{k}|^{2}/8π$)与初始漂移动能密度($W_{0}$)的比率与$γ_{e0}$成比例,作为$\sim 1/γ^{2}_{e0}$。这些模拟结果被发现是在很好的协议,使用流体理论推导。

英文摘要:

Spatio-temporal evolution of the relativistic Buneman instability has been investigated in one dimension using an in-house developed particle-in-cell simulation code. Starting from the excitation of the instability, its evolution has been followed numerically till its quenching and beyond. As compared to the well understood non-relativistic case, it is found that the maximum growth rate ($γ_{max}$) reduces due to relativistic effects and varies with $γ_{e0}$ and m/M as $γ_{max} \sim \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{γ_{e0}}}\biglb(\frac{m}{2M}\bigrb)^{1/3}$, where $γ_{e0}$ is Lorentz factor associated with the initial electron drift velocity ($v_{0}$) and (m/M) is the electron to ion mass ratio. Further it is observed that in contrast to the non-relativistic results[Hirose,Plasma Phys. 20, 481(1978)] at the saturation point, ratio of electrostatic field energy density ($\sum\limits_{k} |E_{k}|^{2}/8π$) to initial drift kinetic energy density ($W_{0}$) scales with $γ_{e0}$ as $\sim 1/γ^{2}_{e0}$. These simulation results are found to be in good agreement with that derived using fluid theory.
