A numerical study of the homo-interactions between two falling droplets and between two rising bubbles in a strongly coupled dusty plasma medium is presented in this article. This strongly coupled dusty plasma is considered as a…
Zero-dimensional kinetic modeling of atmospheric pressure Ar-N2-H2 nonthermal plasma was carried out to gain mechanistic insights into ammonia formation during plasma-assisted catalysis of ammonia synthesis. The kinetic model was developed…
In this work, we present first-of-their-kind nonlinear local gyrokinetic simulations of electromagnetic turbulence at mid-radius in the burning plasma phase of the conceptual high-$\beta$, reactor-scale, tight-aspect-ratio tokamak STEP…
The interaction between two co-propagating electromagnetic pulses in a magnetized plasma is considered, from first principles, relying on a fluid-Maxwell model. Two circularly polarized wavepackets by same group velocities are considered,…
An asymmetric pair of coupled nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger (CNLS) equations has been derived through a multiscale perturbation method applied to a plasma fluid model, in which two wavepackets of distinct carrier wavenumbers and amplitudes are…
Self-focusing instability is a well-known phenomenon of nonlinear optics, which is of great importance in the field of laser-plasma interactions. Self-focusing instability leads to beam focusing and, consequently, breakup into multiple…
Due to disparate formation mechanisms, as for central hot-spot ignition and fast ignition, the initial temperatures of electron and ions usually differs from each other in the hot spot. Considering the percipient dependence of fusion…
Spherical tokamaks (STs) have many desirable features that make them a suitable choice for fusion power plants. To understand their confinement properties, accurate calculation of turbulent micro-instabilities is necessary for tokamak…
Microinstabilities drive turbulent fluctuations in inhomogeneous, magnetized plasmas. In the context of magnetic confinement fusion devices, this leads to an enhanced transport of particles, momentum, and energy, thereby degrading…
Hydrodynamic equations for a one-component plasma are derived as a generalization of the Euler equations to include the effects of the long-range Coulomb interaction. By using a variational principle, these equations self-consistently unify…
Laser-Induced Fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy is an essential tool for probing ion and atom velocity distribution functions (VDFs) in complex plasmas. VDFs carry information about kinetic properties of the species critical for plasma…
The complex interaction dynamics of intense femtosecond (fs) pulses and their picosecond (ps)-long leading edge with nanostructured solids occur at both the nanometer and the femtosecond scales, making them extremely difficult to measure…
In the limit of sufficiently fast rotation, rotating mirror traps are known to be stable against the loss-cone modes associated with conventional (non-rotating) mirrors. This paper calculates how quickly a mirror configuration must rotate…
The addition of small amounts of $H_2$ were investigated in a DC glow discharge in $N_2$, at low pressure (~1 mbar) and low power (0.05 to 0.2 $W.cm^{-3}$). We quantified the electric field, the electron density, the ammonia production and…
This work investigates the behavior of impurities in edge plasma of tokamaks using high-resolution numerical simulations based on Hasegawa--Wakatani equations. Specifically, it focuses on the behavior of inertial particles, which has not…
The accurate construction of tokamak equilibria, which is critical for the effective control and optimization of plasma configurations, depends on the precise distribution of magnetic fields and magnetic fluxes. Equilibrium fitting codes,…
We propose utilizing a polarization-tailored high-power laser pulse to extract and accelerate electrons from the edge of a solid foil target to produce isolated attosecond electron bunches. The laser pulse consists of two…
General problem of plasma turbulence can be formulated as advection of potential vorticity (PV), which handles flow self-organization, coupled to a number of other fields, whose gradients provide free energy sources. Therefore, focusing on…
Wakefield excitation by structured electron bunches in hollow gaps between plasma wedges is studied using three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. The main part of the electron bunch has a triangular current distribution in the…
The plasma-material interactions present in multiple fusion and propulsion concepts between the flow of plasma through a channel and a material wall drive the emission of secondary electrons. This emission is capable of altering the…
