朗道以外Vlasov-Poisson等离子体中电子和离子空穴平衡连续谱引起的斑图形成

Pattern formation in Vlasov-Poisson plasmas beyond Landau caused by the continuous spectra of electron and ion hole equilibria

Hans Schamel

摘要:

本文介绍了一种适用于驱动现实即非理想化等离子体的高起伏水平的升级波理论。最重要的是,这意味着放弃众所周知的线性波动理论的概念,转而采用完全非线性的理论。根据作者的早期出版物(H。Schamel,Plasma Phys.14(1972)905),并得到最近真实噪声等离子体的Vlasov-Poisson模拟的支持,提出了一个扩展的框架,该框架不仅涵盖了相干空穴结构的基本特征,而且还能够对当前的波动理论进行必要的修正。这些修正是早就应该做的,可以简单地总结为:当充分处理平衡态时,线性弗拉索夫动力学的损失(即线性朗道理论和连续van Kampen光谱的失败)。一个线性稳定性分析的单谐波,成功地结合了被困粒子的影响(与以前的分析相反),显示了一个无条件的边缘稳定性独立的漂移之间的电子和离子,这无疑与朗道的理论相矛盾。此外,负能量的空穴特别令人感兴趣,因为它们在动力学系统中充当吸引子。它们是释放更多模式的来源,从而增加间歇性湍流的水平。总之,无碰撞等离子体中的斑图形成本质上是非线性和动力学的。然而,有一个令人满意的,如果还没有完成,了解其过程的双重范式转变是必要的:一个从传统的线性,离散波模型的非线性波模型处理连续光谱由于捕获和第二个从BGK到本方法的正确处理平衡。

英文摘要:

This review presents an upgraded wave theory adapted to the high fluctuation level of driven realistic i.e. non-idealized plasmas. Above all, this means giving up the well-known concept of a linear wave theory in favor of a thoroughly nonlinear theory. Based on the author's early publication (H. Schamel, Plasma Phys. 14 (1972) 905) and supported by recent Vlasov-Poisson simulations of realistic noisy plasmas, an extended framework is presented which not only covers the essential features of coherent hole structures, but which also enables to make the necessary corrections to the current wave theory. These corrections are long overdue and can be briefly summarized under the heading: loss of linear Vlasov dynamics when adequately addressing equilibrium states (i.e. failure of linear Landau theory and of continuous van Kampen spectra, respectively). A linear stability analysis for single harmonic waves that successfully incorporates trapped particle effects (in contrast to previous analyses) shows an unconditional marginal stability independent of the drift between electrons and ions, which irrevocably contradicts Landau's theory. Moreover, holes of negative energy are of particular interest because they act as attractors in the dynamical system. They are the source for the release of further modes and thus increase the level of intermittent turbulence. In summary, pattern formation in collisionless plasmas is inherently nonlinear and kinetic. However, to have a satisfactory, if not yet complete, understanding of its processes a twofold paradigm shift is imperative: one from the conventional linear, discrete wave models to the nonlinear wave models dealing with continuous spectra due to trapping and a second from the BGK to the present method for the correct handling of equilibria.
