Nonlinear bound on unstable fluctuation level in low-density non-neutral plasma
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 March 2009
Abstract
A cold-fluid model is used to describe the nonlinear evolutions of low-density non-neutral plasma immersed in a strong axial magnetic field. It is assumed that there is no axial dependence, and that the electron fluid moves with the usual E × B drift velocity. Use is made of global (spatially averaged) conservation constraints satisfied by the continuity and Poisson equations to obtain a nonlinear bound on the unstable fluctuation level for a general initial density profile.
