Lett. v.78 (1997), pp.4934-4937 | | Subject: | Space Physics; Plasma Physics; Adaptation and Self-Organizing Systems; Pattern Formation and Solitons | physics.space-ph adap-org astro-ph nlin.AO nlin.PS patt-sol physics.plasm-ph | | Affiliation: | UCSD | | Abstract: | The nonlinear dynamics of collisionless Alfven trains, including resonant particle effects is studied using the kinetic nonlinear Schroedinger (KNLS) equation model. Numerical solutions of the KNLS reveal the dynamics of Alfven waves to be sensitive to the sense of polarization as well as the angle of propagation with respect to the ambient magnetic field. The combined effects of both wave nonlinearity and Landau damping result in the evolutionary formation of stationaryOA S- and arc-polarized directional and rotational discontinuities. These waveforms are freqently observed in the interplanetary plasma. | | Source: | arXiv, physics/9707021 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
