Nonlinear coherent four‐wave interaction in space plasma

According to a widespread point of view, intensive electrostatic structures in the E‐region of the auroral ionosphere can be a consequence of the excitation of the modified two‐stream or Farley‐Buneman (FB) plasma turbulence. But in spite of the successes of the theoretical and experimental research of the auroral radar scattering, it is impossible to explain the existence of auroral echoes with large aspect angles (> 2 deg.), the wave propagation perpendicular to the electron drift velocity and wave scales less than 1 m. In this paper the coherent nonlinear interactions of three and four electrostatic FB‐waves are considered analytically and numerically. The evolution of the nonlinear waves is described by a system of magnetohydrodynamic equations. 1) It is shown that the interaction of three and four coherent waves is the main physical mechanism which leads to the saturation of the FB‐instability. 2) If no dissipative and dispersive effects occur, an explosive instability may be excited. 3) The main result of the interaction of coherent waves is the generation of nonlinear waves and nonlinear structures when the waves are damped linearly and propagate perpendicular to the electron drift velocity. This region corresponds to large aspect angles of the small‐scale waves. 4) Further, the wave interaction causes a nonlinear stabilization of the growth of the high‐frequency waves and a formation of local density structures of the charged particles. The results of the numerical models allow to analyse the possibility of scenarios of the two‐stream plasma instability in the collisional auroral E‐region.  相似文献   

Current-driven plasma turbulence in a magnetic flux tube     

V.E. Zakharov  C.-V. Meister 《Astronomische Nachrichten》1999,320(6):425-436

The behaviour of a multi-component anisotropic plasma in a magnetic flux tube is studied in the presence of current-driven electrostatic ion-cyclotron turbulence. The plasma transport is considered in both parallel and perpendicular directions with respect to the given tube. As one of the sources of the parallel electric field, the anomalous resistivityof the plasma caused by the turbulence is taken into account. The acceleration and heating processes of the plasma are simulated numerically. It is found that at the upper boundary of the nightside auroral ionosphere, the resonant wave-particle interactions are most effective in the case of upward field-aligned currents with densities of a few 10^—6 A/m². The occurring anomalous resistivity maycause differences of the electric potential along the magnetic field lines of some kV. Further it is shown that the thickness of the magnetic flux tube and the intensity of the convection strongly influence the turbulent plasma heating.  相似文献

本文利用WRF数值模式对2019年7月16日发生在东北冷涡底部的暴雨过程进行数值模拟,使用常规观测资料、卫星云图和数值模拟结果对此次暴雨过程的中尺度及云物理特征进行分析。结果表明：东西两个暴雨区分别由MCC和MCS活动造成的。MCC发展的环境具有低层更暖湿高层更干冷,对流不稳定更强,垂直风切变更大的特点,有利于酝酿更强的风暴。降水回波与地面辐合线同时出现,共同移动,两者有正反馈作用。与西部回波相对应的辐合线辐合更强,北侧偏北风风速更大,移动更快,对应的强降水范围更小、时段更集中。而东部暴雨区相对应的辐合线两侧风速均较小,呈准静止态,回波长时间在辐合线附近维持,列车效应形成暴雨,对应的强降水范围较大、持续时间更长。降水过程中霰和雪是对流云中主要的降水粒子,并通过冷云增长；雨水的增长主要依赖于霰和雪的融化,其次还有暖云中云水的碰并增长。  相似文献
