Book Description
A plasma simulation code is used to study the resonant interactions between streaming ions and Alfven waves. The medium which supports the Alfven waves is treated as a single, one-dimensional, ideal MHD fluid, while the ions are treated as kinetic particles. The code is used to study three ion distributions: a cold beam; a monoenergetic shell; and a drifting distribution with a power-law dependence on momentum. These distributions represent: the field-aligned beams upstream of the earth's bow shock; the diffuse ions upstream of the bow shock; and the cosmic ray distribution function near a supernova remnant shock. 92 refs., 31 figs., 12 tabs.

Energy Research Abstracts
Literature 1988, Part 1
Author: U. Esser
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3662123649
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1266
Book Description
From the reviews: "Astronomy and Astrophysics Abstracts has appeared in semi-annual volumes since 1969 and it has already become one of the fundamental publications in the fields of astronomy, astrophysics and neighbouring sciences. It is the most important English-language abstracting journal in the mentioned branches. ...The abstracts are classified under more than a hundred subject categories, thus permitting a quick survey of the whole extended material. The AAA is a valuable and important publication for all students and scientists working in the fields of astronomy and related sciences. As such it represents a necessary ingredient of any astronomical library all over the world." Space Science Reviews#1 "Dividing the whole field plus related subjects into 108 categories, each work is numbered and most are accompanied by brief abstracts. Fairly comprehensive cross-referencing links relevant papers to more than one category, and exhaustive author and subject indices are to be found at the back, making the catalogues easy to use. The series appears to be so complete in its coverage and always less than a year out of date that I shall certainly have to make a little more space on those shelves for future volumes." The Observatory Magazine#2

The Physics of Alfven Waves
Author: Neil F. Cramer
Publisher: Wiley-VCH
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
This book presents the current theoretical state of knowledge of Alfven waves, the basic low frequency mode of transport of information and energy in magenetized plasmas. Links to experimental and observational evidence for the waves are given. The scope covers Alfven waves in laboratory, space and astrophysical plasmas, and emphasizes the effects of the realistic, non-ideal physics of such plasmas on the properties of the waves.
