无碰撞各向异性空间等离子体的开尔文-亥姆霍兹不稳定性

Kelvin-Helmholtz instability of the collisionless anisotropic space plasma

N. S. Dzhalilov, R. Ismayilli

摘要:

详细研究了各向异性等离子体中线性MHD Kelvin-Helmholtz不稳定性(KHI)与外磁场方向的关系。为此,我们用MHD方程来描述等离子体作为流体的运动,该方程是由无碰撞等离子体的Boltzmann-Vlasov动力学方程的16阶矩导出的。此外,还考虑了沿磁场方向的热通量。KHI的增长率作为函数的各向异性等离子体性能的剪切流沿磁场在超音速计算。另一方面,准横向传播的表面波之间的流动与变化的速度进行了彻底检查为零宽度和有限宽度的过渡层。与切向间断相反,证明了随着波数的增加,过渡层的极限宽度限制了KHI激发。这种不稳定性可能是太阳风等离子体中大尺度低频Alfén波湍流耗散的主要途径之一。

英文摘要:

The linear MHD Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) in an anisotropic plasma concerning the direction of an external magnetic field is examined in detail. For this purpose, the MHD equations are used to describe the motion of plasma as a fluid, which is derived from 16 moments of Boltzmann-Vlasov kinetic equations for collisionless plasma. In addition, the heat flux along the magnetic field is taken into account. The growing rates of KHI are calculated as functions of the anisotropic plasma properties for a shear flow along the magnetic field at supersonic velocities. On the other hand, the quasi-transverse propagation of surface waves between flows with varying velocities is thoroughly examined for both zero-width and finite-width transition layers. In contrast to the tangential discontinuity, it is proved that the limiting breadth of the transition layer constrains the KHI excitation as the wavenumber grows. The instability under investigation could be one of the main ways of dissipation of large-scale low-frequency Alfén wave turbulence existing in the solar wind plasma.
