A photoionized gas in thermal equilibrium can display a thermal instability, with 3 or more solutions in the multi-branch region of the S-shape curve giving the temperature versus the radiation-to-gas-pressure ratio. Many studies have been…
A long-standing challenge encountered in modeling plasma dynamics is achieving practical Vlasov equation simulation in multiple spatial dimensions over large length and time scales. While direct multi-dimension Vlasov simulation methods…
The present research is devoted to the problem of stability of the fluid flow moving in a channel with flexible walls and interacting with the walls, which are subject to traveling waves. Experimental data shows that the energy of the…
The scaling of plasmoid instability maximum linear growth rate with respect to Lundquist number $S$ in a Sweet-Parker current sheet, $\gamma_{max}\sim S^{1/4}$, indicates that at high $S$, the current sheet will break apart before it…
The nonlinear development of streaming instabilities in the current layers formed during magnetic reconnection with a guide field is explored. Theory and 3-D particle-in-cell simulations reveal two distinct phases. First, the parallel…
Secondary instabilities of Faraday waves show three regimes: (1) As seen previously, low-viscosity (nu) fluids destabilize first into squares. At higher driving accelerations a, squares show low-frequency modulations corresponding to the…
A chain of metallic particles, of sufficiently small diameter and spacing, allows linearly polarized plasmonic waves to propagate along the chain. In this paper, we consider how these waves are altered by an anisotropic host (such as a…
In space plasmas kinetic instabilities are driven by the beaming (drifting) components and/or the temperature anisotropy of charged particles. The heat-flux instabilities are known in the literature as electromagnetic modes destabilized by…
The thermomagnetic instability of the critical state in superconductors is analysed with account of the dissipation and dispersion. The possibility is demonstrated of the existance of a nonlinear shok wave describing the final stage of the…
We study instability of plasmons in a dual-grating-gate graphene field-effect transistor induced by dc current injection using self-consistent simulations with the Boltzmann equation. With only the acoustic-phonon-limited electron…
Light-matter interaction at the atomic scale rules fundamental phenomena such as photoemission and lasing, while enabling basic everyday technologies, including photovoltaics and optical communications. In this context, plasmons --the…
The study of coolant flow behavior in rod bundles is of relevance to the design of nuclear reactors. Although laminar and turbulent flows have been researched extensively, there are still gaps in understanding the process of…
We consider the evolution of an isentropic thermal instability in the atomic zone of a photodissociation region (PDR). In this zone, gas heating and cooling are associated mainly with photoelectric emission from dust grains and…
The last two decades have witnessed an exponential growth and tremendous developments in wireless technologies and systems, and their associated applications. In the recent years following 2006, there has been a great surge in interest in…
An electron beam traversing a structured plasmonic field is shown to undergo diffraction with characteristic angular patterns of both elastic and inelastic outgoing electron components. In particular, a plasmonic {\it grating} (e.g., a…
We develop a method to design tunable quasiperiodic structures of particles suspended in a fluid by controlling standing acoustic waves. One application of our results is to ultrasound directed self-assembly, which allows fabricating…
The plasmoid instability has revolutionized our understanding of magnetic reconnection in astrophysical environments. By preventing the formation of highly elongated reconnection layers, it is crucial in enabling the rapid energy conversion…
To achieve its performance goals, SPARC plans to operate in equilibrium configurations with a strong elongation of $\kappa_\mathrm{areal}\sim1.75$, destabilizing the $n=0$ vertical instability. However, SPARC also features a relatively…
In this work, a novel approach for the detection and localisation of nonlinear guided waves often associated with the presence of damage in structural components is proposed. The method is active and consists of a piezoelectric transducer…
Light matter interactions can be substantially altered in the presence of time varying media. We study the interaction between a harmonic electric dipole and a plasmonic time crystal slab. Temporal modulation of the plasma frequency enables…
