逆流等离子体中韦伯型不稳定性的温度饱和

Temperature-dependent Saturation of Weibel-type Instabilities in Counter-streaming Plasmas

V. Skoutnev, A. Hakim, J. Juno, J. M. TenBarge

摘要:

我们提出了第一个2X2 V连续Vlasov-Maxwell模拟的互穿,非磁化等离子体,研究两个流,斜,和双折射模式之间的竞争在弱相对论制度。我们发现,后非线性饱和的最快增长的双流和斜模式,有效的温度各向异性,驱动电流丝形成通过长期的韦伯不稳定性,有很强的依赖于逆流等离子体的内部温度。有效的温度各向异性是显着减少在较冷的等离子体比在较热的,导致数量级较低的磁化较冷的等离子体。韦伯型不稳定性的能量转换效率对内部束流温度的强烈依赖关系,对确定它们对许多天体物理和实验室等离子体观测到的磁化的贡献具有影响。

英文摘要:

We present the first 2X2V continuum Vlasov-Maxwell simulations of interpenetrating, unmagnetized plasmas to study the competition between two-stream, Oblique, and filamentation modes in the weakly relativistic regime. We find that after nonlinear saturation of the fastest-growing two-stream and Oblique modes, the effective temperature anisotropy, which drives current filament formation via the secular Weibel instability, has a strong dependence on the internal temperature of the counter-streaming plasmas. The effective temperature anisotropy is significantly more reduced in colder than in hotter plasmas, leading to orders of magnitude lower magnetization for colder plasmas. A strong dependence of the energy conversion efficiency of Weibel-type instabilities on internal beam temperature has implications for determining their contribution to the observed magnetization of many astrophysical and laboratory plasmas.
