    Rate of steady-state reconnection in an incompressible plasma
[Text] : статья / N.V. Erkaev, V.S. Semenov, H.K. Alexeev, H.K. Biernat // Physics of Plasmas. - 2001. - Vol. 8, № 11. - p. 4800-4811DOI 10.1063/1.1410112 . -

Аннотация: The reconnection rate is obtained for the simplest case of two-dimensional (2D) symmetric reconnection in an incompressible plasma. In the short note [Erkaev et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 1455 (2000)], the reconnection rate is found by matching the outer Petschek solution and the inner diffusion region solution. Here the details of the numerical simulation of the diffusion region are presented and the asymptotic procedure which is used for deriving the reconnection rate is described. The reconnection rate is obtained as a decreasing function of the diffusion region length. For a sufficiently large diffusion region scale, the reconnection rate becomes close to that obtained in the Sweet-Parker solution with the inverse square root dependence on the magnetic Reynolds number Re m , determined for the global size of the current sheet. On the other hand, for a small diffusion region length scale, the reconnection rate turns out to be very similar to that obtained in the Petschek model with a logarithmic dependence on the magnetic Reynolds number Re m . This means that the Petschek regime seems to be possible only in the case of a strongly localized conductivity corresponding to a small scale of the diffusion region. c 2001 American Institute of Physics.

Аннотация: Nowadays both in Russia and abroad active research has been conducted on developing perspective hypersonic aerospace aircraft. The developing of such aircraft would allow to essentially expand aircraft possibilities and to reduce delivery cost of goods to the near-earth orbit. In many countries of the world there are programs of creation of hypersonic aircraft such as: HOTOL in Great Britain, NASP in USA, HERMES in France. One of key while conducting these projects is the creation of a hypersonic ramjet engine having necessary propulsive, mass and dimensional characteristics with all altitude range and flight velocities of an aircraft. The basic difficulties, in development of such engine types are caused by substantial of deterioration of quality of fuel mixture with an oxidant under supersonic flow velocities in the combustion chamber, which results in decrease of an engine efficiency and deterioration of its propulsion. To increase the efficiency of HRE with the supersonic flow velocity in the combustion chamber the authors offered MHD control of gas flow in the channel HRE based on creation in a stream of local plasma areas with temperature 104 K interacting with an external magnetic field [1], [2]. The work presents investigation results for the structure of non-stationary gas-dynamic flow in the channel HRE with MHD - control. It also describes the calculation of propulsion performance characteristics of the given engine on the basis of mathematical simulation of processes, which take place in the channel of an engine. Thee work objective was the research of non-stationary periodic flow with heat application in the tract HRE with MHD - control on the basis of mathematical modeling of processes which take place in the channel of an engine and the calculation of propulsion performance characteristics of an engine. In the work the model HRE including the air intake, MHD - channel and nozzle was considered. The MHD - channel is made of two flat electrodes and sidewalls from a dielectric. The local constant flow heat permitting to create periodical local plasma areas (T- layer) is provided with the systems of initiation the constant magnetic field in the volume of the channel is ensured with an external magnetic system.

Аннотация: A quasi stationary three dimensional model of electric fields and currents in the conductor that includes the Earth's atmosphere and ionosphere is created. The results of the three dimensional model are simpler regarding interpretation and explanation than two dimensional ones. Known approaches regarding the ionosphere as a boundary condition at the upper boundary of the atmospheric conductor are analyzed. For the investigation of the electric field penetration from ground into the ionosphere it is sufficient to take into account only integral conductivity of the ionosphere. A mathematical simulation has shown that the resulting electric field in the ionosphere is negligible in contrast to the general point of view that such a penetration is a physical process which potentially creates ionospheric precursors of earthquakes.

elliptical equation -- hyrotropic medium -- energy method -- electric field -- atmosphere -- ionosphere

Аннотация: Conventional two dimensional model for electric fields in the Earth’s ionosphere is analyzed to estimate its error. The main difficulties arise due to asymmetry of the conductivity tensor. We use the energy method and small parameter expansion. To make it possible in spite of asymmetry of the tensor coefficients the problem is reduced to the problem of minimum of proper quadratic energy functional. The variational principle is stated and proved for the 3-D boundary value problem. The error of the 2-D approximation is analyzed in the case, when conductor occupies a flat layer 0 < z < z0 and is homogeneous in z direction, and the vector of magnetic field has only z component. The results of numerical simulation of the electric field penetration from ground to the Earth’s ionosphere with reduction of the 3-D model of the ionospheric conductor to the 2-D model are presented. Precision of such an approach is demonstrated.

Аннотация: An algorithm for numerical solution of Navier-Stokes equations for two-dimensional motion of a viscous heat-conducting gas is proposed in the paper. The discretization of the equations is performed by a combination of the method of trajectories for the substantive derivative and the finite element method with piecewise-bilinear basis functions for other summands. Results of numerical study of the supersonic flow structure are presented for a flat channel in its step expansion zone for a wide range of Mach and Reynolds numbers. Velocity and pressure fields are investigated, the vortex structure of the circulation flow is studied in the domain after the step.

Аннотация: A method of producing and confining ultracold electron-ion plasma with a strongly nonideal ion subsystem is considered. The method is based on the laser cooling of plasma ions by the radiation resonant with the ion quantum transition. A model is developed for the laser cooling of recombining plasma. Computer simulation based on this model showed that the ion nonideality parameter can be as large as similar to100. The data obtained demonstrate that the production of ultracold nonideal plasma is quite possible. (C) 2002 MAIK "Nauka / Interperiodica".

Аннотация: A one-dimensional numerical model and a two-dimensional numerical model of the hydrodynamic and thermal structure of Lake Shira during summer have been developed, with several original physical and numerical features. These models are well suited to simulate the formation and dynamics of vertical stratification and provide a basis for an ecological water-quality model of the lake. They allow for the quantification of the vertical mixing processes that govern not only the thermal structure but also the nutrient exchange, and more generally, the exchange of dissolved and particulate matter between different parts of the lake. The outcome of the calculations has been compared with the field data on vertical temperature and salinity distributions in Lake Shira. Lake Shira is meromictic and exhibits very stable annual stratification. The stratification is so stable because of the high salinity of the water. If the water in Lake Shira were fresh and other parameters (depth, volume, and meteorology) were the same, as now, the lake would be mixed in autumn. Using the newly developed models and using common meteorological parameters, we conclude that Lake Shira will remain stratified in autumn as long as the average salinity is higher than 3%.

    Influence of a density increase on the evolution of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability and vortices

Аннотация: Results of two-dimensional nonlinear numerical simulations of the magnetohydrodynamic Kelvin-Helmholtz instability are presented. A boundary layer of a certain width is assumed, which separates the plasma in the upper layer from the plasma in the lower layer. A special focus is given on the influence of a density increase toward the lower layer. The evolution of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability can be divided into three different phases, namely, a linear growth phase at the beginning, followed by a nonlinear phase with regular structures of the vortices, and finally, a turbulent phase with nonregular structures. The spatial scales of the vortices are about five times the initial width of the boundary layer. The considered configuration is similar to the situation around unmagnetized planets, where the solar wind (upper plasma layer) streams past the ionosphere (lower plasma layer), and thus the plasma density increases toward the planet. The evolving vortices might detach around the terminator of the planet and eventually so-called plasma clouds might be formed, through which ionospheric material can be lost. For the special case of a Venus-like planet, loss rates are estimated, which are of the order of estimated loss rates from observations at Venus. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics.
