Alfvén wave filamentation and dispersive phase mixing in a high-density channel: Landau fluid and hybrid simulations
The propagation of dispersive Alfvén waves in a low-beta collisionless plasma with a high-density channel aligned with the ambient magnetic field, is studied in three space dimensions. A fluid model retaining linear Landau damping and finite Larmor radius corrections is used, together with a hybrid...
