The nonlinear interaction between counterpropagating Alfven waves is the physical mechanism underlying the cascade of energy to small scales in astrophysical plasma turbulence. Beginning with the equations for incompressible MHD, an…
This paper presents the numerical verification of an asymptotic analytical solution for the nonlinear interaction between counterpropagating Alfven waves, the fundamental building block of astrophysical plasma turbulence. The analytical…
A nonlocal coupling mechanism to directly transfer the energy from large-scale Magnetohydrodynamic(MHD) Alfven waves to small-scale kinetic Alfven waves is presented. It is shown that the interaction between a MHD Alfven wave and a…
The magnetic energy of nonlinear Alfven waves in compressible plasmas may be ponderomotively coupled only to ion-acoustic quasi-modes which modulate the wave phase velocity and cause wave-front steepening. In the collisionless plasma with…
The effect of Alfv\'en waves on the thermal instability of the Interstellar Medium (ISM) is investigated both analytically and numerically. A stability analysis of a finite amplitude circularly polarized Alfv\'en wave propagating parallel…
We investigate analytically and numerically the interaction of strong electromagnetic waves with unmagnetized pair plasmas. We show that the interaction is governed by a single nonlinearity parameter, $\varepsilon_{\rm p}$, defined as the…
The basic equations governing propagation of electromagnetic and gravitational waves in vacuum are nonlinear. As a consequence photon-photon interaction as well as photon-graviton interaction can take place without a medium. However,…
A new nonlinear electromagnetic wave mode in a plasma is reported. Its existence depends on the interaction of an intense circularly polarized electromagnetic wave with a plasma, where quantum electrodynamical photon--photon scattering is…
A rigorous and most general covariant kinetic formalism is developed to study the nonlinear waves interaction in relativistic Vlasov plasmas. The typical nonlinear plasma reaction is a nonlinear current measured by the nonlinear plasma…
Context: Compensated-current systems are established in response to hot ion beams in terrestrial foreshock regions, around supernova remnants, and in other space and astrophysical plasmas. Aims: We study a non-resonant reactive instability…
The weakly nonlinear interaction of sound and linearly polarised Alfv{\'e}n waves propagating in the same direction along an applied magnetic field is studied. It is found that a sound wave is coupled to the Alfv{\'e}n wave with double…
Properties of modified plasma waves in non-linear electrodynamics are investigated. We consider a cold, uniform, collisionless, and magnetized plasma model. Initially, we also assume small amplitude waves and the non-relativistic…
Matter-wave optics is often viewed as a linear analogue of photonics, where noninteracting particles are coherently split, diffracted, and recombined, and interference arises from single-particle coherence. In ultracold quantum gases,…
Turbulence is a phenomenon found throughout space and astrophysical plasmas. It plays an important role in solar coronal heating, acceleration of the solar wind, and heating of the interstellar medium. Turbulence in these regimes is…
In this Letter, weak turbulence theory is used to investigate interactions among Alfven waves and fast and slow magnetosonic waves in collisionless low-beta plasmas. The wave kinetic equations are derived from the equations of…
Large-amplitude Alfv\'en waves are ubiquitous in space plasmas and a main component of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence in the heliosphere. As pump waves they are prone to parametric instability by which they can generate cyclotron and…
We investigate the interaction of a plane, linearly polarized, Alfvenic pulse with a one-dimensional, perpendicular to the magnetic field, plasma density inhomogeneity in the strongly nonlinear regime. Our numerical study of the full MHD…
We study the interactions of two or more solitary waves in the Adlam-Allen model describing the evolution of a (cold) plasma of positive and negative charges, in the presence of electric and transverse magnetic fields. In order to show that…
Nonlinear damping of parallel propagating Alfv\'en waves in high-$\beta$ plasma is considered. Trapping of thermal ions and Coulomb collisions are taken into account. Saturated damping rate is calculated. Applications are made for cosmic…
Our recent theoretical developments related to the nonrelativistic and relativistic fluctuation-electromagnetic interactions of bodies with different temperatures moving translationally and (or) rotationally relative to each other are…
