The present work investigates the parametric instability of parallel propagating circularly polarized Alfven(pump) waves in a weakly ionized molecular cloud. It is shown that the relative drift between the plasma particles gives rise to the…
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…
The influence of various kinetic effects (e.g. Landau damping, diffusive and collisional dissipation, and finite Larmor radius terms) on the nonlinear evolution of finite amplitude Alfvenic wave trains in a finite-beta environment is…
Plasma ions heating (especially minor heavy ions preferential heating) in fast solar wind and solar corona is an open question in space physics. However, Alfv\'en waves have been always considered as a candidate of energy source for corona…
One of the most striking properties of Kinetic Alfv\'en Waves (KAW) is that, unlike the also Alfv\'enic Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron (EMIC) waves, these waves are right-hand polarized in the plasma frame. In particular, this signature…
This study investigates ion kinetic effects during the parametric decay instability (PDI) of parallel-propagating Alfv\'en waves under plasma conditions characteristic of the Earth's ionosphere. By using a series of hybrid particle-in-cell…
Collisionless regime kinetic models for coherent nonlinear Alfven wave dynamics are studied using fluid moment equations with an approximate closure anzatz. Resonant particle effects are modelled by incorporating an additional term…
We discuss the parametric instabilities of large-amplitude parallel propagating Alfven waves using the 2-D PIC simulation code. First, we confirmed the results in the past study [Sakai et al, 2005] that the electrons are heated due to the…
Certain types of plasma waves are known to become parametrically unstable under specific plasma conditions, in which the pump wave will decay into several daughter waves with different wavenumbers and frequencies. In the past, the related…
In this paper, weak turbulence theory is used to investigate the nonlinear evolution of the parametric instability in 3D low-$\beta$ plasmas at wavelengths much greater than the ion inertial length under the assumption that slow…
We study the stability of large amplitude, circularly polarized Alfv\'en waves in an anisotropic plasma described by the double-adiabatic/CGL closure, and in particular the effect of a background thermal pressure anisotropy on the…
Large amplitude Alfv\'en waves tend to be unstable to parametric instabilities which result in a decay process of the initial wave into different daughter waves depending upon the amplitude of the fluctuations and the plasma beta. The…
The dispersion relation of kinetic Alfv\'en wave in inertial regime is studied in a three component non-degenerate streaming plasma. A lin- ear dispersion relation using fluid- Vlasov equation for quantum plasma is also derived. The quantum…
Large-amplitude Alfv\'en waves are subject to parametric decays which can have important consequences in space, astrophysical, and fusion plasmas. Though the Alfv\'en wave parametric decay instability was predicted decades ago,…
Evolution of the parametric decay instability (PDI) of a circularly polarized Aflv\'en wave in a turbulent low-beta plasma background is investigated using 3D hybrid simulations. It is shown that the turbulence reduces the growth rate of…
We investigate, using a multi-fluid approach, the main properties of standing ion-acoustic modes driven by nonlinear standing Alfv\'en waves. The standing character of the Alfv\'enic pump is because we study the superposition of two…
The measured spectrum of kinetic Alfven wave fluctuations in the turbulent solar wind plasma is used to calculate the electron and ion distribution functions resulting from quasi-linear diffusion. The modified ion distribution function is…
A shear Alfv\'en wave parametric instability is observed for the first time in the laboratory. When a single finite $\omega/\Omega_i$ kinetic Alfv\'en wave (KAW) is launched in the Large Plasma Device above a threshold amplitude, three…
Kinetic Alfv\'en waves represent an important subject in space plasma physics, since they are thought to play a crucial role in the development of the turbulent energy cascade in the solar wind plasma at short wavelengths (of the order of…
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…
