Planar flames are intrinsically unstable in open domains due to the thermal expansion across the burning front--the Landau-Darrieus instability. This instability leads to wrinkling and growth of the flame surface, and corresponding…
Landau damping is the tendency of solutions to the Vlasov equation towards spatially homogeneous distribution functions. The distribution functions however approach the spatially homogeneous manifold only weakly, and Boltzmann entropy is…
Phenomenological studies of cosmic-ray self-confinement often hinge on the linear theory for the growth rate of the streaming instability and for the damping rate of the generated magnetic modes. Largely different expressions exist,…

Landau damping is a natural stabilization mechanism that mitigates coherent beam instabilities. In the longitudinal plane, loss of Landau damping (LLD) occurs when a coherent mode of oscillation emerges from the incoherent band of the bunch…
It is shown that partial incoherence, in the form of stochastic phase noise, of a Langmuir wave in an unmagnetized plasma gives rise to a Landau-type damping. Starting from the Zakharov equations, which describe the nonlinear interaction…
We study numerically propagation of energy in a one dimensional Ding-Ding lattice, composed of linear oscillators with ellastic collisions. Wave propagation is suppressed by breaking translational symmetry, we consider three way to do this:…
The microbunching instability usually exists in the LINAC of a free electron laser (FEL) facility. In many cases, the longitudinal space charge (LSC) is a dominant factor that generates the instability. For the highly bright electron beams,…
