Simulations are performed to investigate turbulent properties of nonlinearly interacting two-dimensional (2D) magnetic electron drift vortex (MEDV) modes in a nonuniform unmagnetized plasma. The relevant nonlinear equations governing the…
The dissipation of kinetic and magnetic energy in the interstellar medium (ISM) can proceed through viscous, Ohmic or ambipolar diffusion (AD). It occurs at very small scales compared to the scales at which energy is presumed to be…
A nonlinear time dependent fluid simulation model is developed that describes the evolution of magnetohydrodynamic waves in the presence of collisional and charge exchange interactions of a partially ionized plasma. The partially ionized…
Space plasmas are dominated by the presence of large-amplitude waves, large-scale inhomogeneities, kinetic effects and turbulence. Beside the homogeneous turbulence, generation of small scale fluctuations can take place also in other…
We report analytical and numerical investigations of sub-ion-scale turbulence in low-beta plasmas, focusing on the spectral properties of the fluctuations and electron heating. In the isothermal limit, the numerical results strongly support…
It is shown, using results of fully kinetic 3D numerical simulations and observations in solar wind and Earth's magnetosphere that the transition from deterministic chaos to turbulence at kinetic (sub-ion) scales in space plasmas is…
We perform three dimensional (3D) ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations to study the parametric decay instability of Alfven waves in turbulent plasmas and explore its possible applications in the solar wind. We find that, over a broad…
We investigate the transition of the solar wind turbulent cascade from MHD to sub-ion range by means of a detail comparison between in situ observations and hybrid numerical simulations. In particular we focus on the properties of the…
A 2.5D numerical model of magnetoacoustic-Alfv\'en linear mode conversions in the partially ionised low solar atmosphere induced by the Hall effect is surveyed, varying magnetic field strength and inclination, and wave frequency and…
Plasma turbulence is studied using Doppler reflectometry at the TJ-II stellarator. By scanning the tilt angle of the probing beam, different values of the perpendicular wave numbers are probed at the reflection layer. In this way, the…
We study the cascading of fast MHD modes in magnetically dominated plasma by performing one-dimensional (1D) dynamical simulations. We find that the cascading becomes more efficient as an angle between wave vector and underlying magnetic…
A new path for the generation of a sub-ion scale cascade in collisionless plasma turbulence, triggered by magnetic reconnection, is uncovered by means of high-resolution two-dimensional hybrid-kinetic simulations employing two complementary…
Plasma dynamics is a multi-scale problem that involves many spatial and temporal scales. Turbulence connects the disparate scales in this system through a cascade that is established by nonlinear interactions. Most astrophysical plasma…
To explain energy dissipation via turbulence in collisionless, magnetized plasmas, the existence of a dual real- and velocity-space cascade of ion-entropy fluctuations below the ion gyroradius has been proposed. Such a dual cascade,…
The complex interplay of magnetohydrodynamics, gravity, and supersonic turbulence in the interstellar medium (ISM) introduces non-Gaussian structure that can complicate comparison between theory and observation. We show that the Wavelet…
The stratification-driven Hall instability in a weakly ionized polytropic plasma is investigated in the local approximation within an equilibrium Keplerian disk of a small aspect ratio. The leading order of the asymptotic expansions in the…
Solar wind magnetic fluctuation spectra exhibit a significant power law steepening at frequencies f>1Hz. The origin of this multi-scaling is investigated through dispersive Hall magnetohydrodynamics. We perform three-dimensional numerical…
This is a brief review of the main results of our recent studies of the nonlinear evolution of the small-scale MHD dynamo in the high-Prandtl-number regime and of the structure of the resulting saturated state of the isotropic homogeneous…
We study plasmons in a rectangular two-dimensional (2D) electron system in the vicinity of a planar metal electrode (gate) and in the presence of a perpendicular uniform magnetic field, using Maxwell's equations and neglecting retardation…
Energy dissipation in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence is known to be highly intermittent in space, being concentrated in sheet-like coherent structures. Much less is known about intermittency in time, another fundamental aspect of…
