The amplitude equation for an unstable electrostatic wave is analyzed using an expansion in the mode amplitude $A(t)$. In the limit of weak instability, i.e. $\gamma\to 0^+$ where $\gamma$ is the linear growth rate, the nonlinear…
The wave instability acts in astrophysical plasmas to redistribute energy and momentum in the absence of frequent collisions. There are many different types of waves, and it is important to quantify the wave energy density and growth rate…
Nonlinear simulation model for radio frequency (RF) waves in fusion plasmas has been developed and verified using fully kinetic ion and drift kinetic electron. Ion cyclotron motion in the toroidal geometry is implemented using Boris push in…
The impact of superthermal electrons on dispersion properties of isotropic plasmas and on the modulational instability of a monochromatic Langmuir wave is studied for the case when the power-law tail of the electron distribution function…
The theory of the ion cyclotron (IC) electrostatic parametric instabilities of plasma which are driven by the elliptically polarized fast wave (FW) of the finite wavelength is developed. The growth rate of the IC quasimode decay…
This paper presents a study of the two-stream instability of an electron beam propagating in a finite-size plasma placed between two electrodes. It is shown that the growth rate in such a system is much smaller than that of an infinite…
The propagation of compressional MHD waves is studied for an externally driven system. It is assumed that the combined action of the external sources and sinks of the entropy results in the harmonic oscillation of the entropy (and…
A model system of equations has been derived to describe a toroidally rotating tokamak plasma, unstable to Resistive Wall Modes (RWMs) and metastable to Neoclassical Tearing Modes (NTMs), using a linear RWM model and a nonlinear NTM model.…
The formation of thermoacoustic shocks is studied in a fluid complex plasma. The thermoacoustic wave mode can be damped (or anti-damped) when the contribution from the thermoacoustic interaction is lower (or higher) than that due to the…
Linear eigenmodes of a spherically symmetrical ultra-relativistic blast wave (the Blandford-McKee, BMK, solution) are calculated. The BMK solution is shown to be stable and strongly non-universal. It is stable because all the eigenmodes…
We study collective processes for an electron beam propagating through a background plasma using simulations and analytical theory. A new regime where the instability of a Langmuir wave packet can grow locally much faster than ion frequency…
Internal waves are believed to be of primary importance as they affect ocean mixing and energy transport. Several processes can lead to the breaking of internal waves and they usually involve non linear interactions between waves. In this…
Ab initio simulations of the propagation in a plasma of a soon to be available relativistic electron-positron beam or fireball beam provide an effective mean for the study of microphysics relevant to astrophysical scenarios. We show that…
We study parametric amplification of electromagnetic waves using metasurfaces. We design a variable capacitor-loaded metasurface that can amplify incident electromagnetic waves. We analyze various regimes of operation of the system and find…
Taking into account both the scattering and the velocity saturation of carriers, we examine the "shallow-water" instability of the two-dimensional electron gas in a field effect transistor. It is shown that both the scattering (which is…
Turbulence is a major factor limiting the achievement of better tokamak performance as it enhances the transport of particles, momentum and heat which hinders the foremost objective of tokamaks. Hence, understanding and possibly being able…
The superconducting pairing instability---as determined by a divergence of the two-particle susceptibility---is obtained in the mean field (BCS) approximation in the thermodynamic limit. The usual practice is to examine this property for a…
We study the electron-acoustic instabilities in plasmas with two kappa-distributed electrons and stationary ions. The instabilities are driven by the relative drift between two electron components. The suprathermal effects of different…
Threshold of the transverse mode coupling instability is calculated in frameworks of the square well model at arbitrary value of space charge tune shift. A new method of calculation is developed beyond the traditional expansion technique.…
Context. The zebra patterns observed in solar radio emission are very important for are plasma diagnostics. The most promising model of these patterns is based on double plasma resonance instability, which generates upper-hybrid waves,…
