Two dimensional magnetised plasma turbulence (2009)
Plunk, G. G., Cowley, S. C., Schekochihin, A. A., Tatsuno, T.
Two dimensional gyrokinetics is a simple paradigm for the study of kinetic magnetised turbulence. In this paper, we study both the inverse and direct cascades (i.e., the `dual cascade'), driven by a...
Nonlinear phase mixing and phase-space cascade of entropy in gyrokinetic plasma turbulence (2008)
Tatsuno, T., Dorland, W., Schekochihin, A. A., Plunk, G. G., Barnes, M., Cowley, S. C., ...
Electrostatic turbulence in weakly collisional, magnetized plasma can be interpreted as a cascade of entropy in phase space. This cascade is studied theoretically and numerically. It proceeds...
Gyrokinetic turbulence: a nonlinear route to dissipation through phase space (2008)
Schekochihin, A. A., Cowley, S. C., Dorland, W., Hammett, G. W., Howes, G. G., Plunk, G. G., ...
This paper describes a conceptual framework for understanding kinetic plasma turbulence as a generalized form of energy cascade in phase space. It is emphasized that conversion of turbulent energy...
