Kinetic dissipation and anisotropic heating in a turbulent collisionless plasma
Kinetic dissipation and anisotropic heating in a turbulent collisionless plasma
The kinetic evolution of the Orszag–Tang vortex is studied using collisionless hybrid simulations. In magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) this configuration leads rapidly to broadband turbulence. At large length scales, the evolution of the hybrid simulations is very similar to MHD, with magnetic power spectra displaying scaling similar to a Kolmogorov scaling of …
