    Notes: Some questions pertaining to the existence and nature of one-dimensional envelope pulse solitons propagating into an overdense plasma are examined by a numerical investigation of the relativistic cold plasma equations. Finite amplitude single hump solitons with significant density cavitation are obtained for both immobile and mobile ions. For the immobile ion case the eigenvalue spectrum has a continuum nature and there is a smooth transition from standing single pulse solitons to moving solitons. A composite spectrum of moving multipeak solitons is also obtained and approximate analytical estimates of their amplitudes are provided. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Tearing modes are suspected to be a principal cause of both minor and major disruptions in a tokamak. Suppression of these modes via a neutral beam which supplies momentum, energy and particles of appropriate phase and amplitude is considered. Model theoretical calculations are presented for the stabilization of drift tearing modes and it is found that for ADITYA [S.B. Bhatt et al., Ind. J. Pure Appl. Phys. 27, 710 (1989)] and other present-day tokamak parameters, stabilization is achievable using modest levels of beam power, current and density. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: In this paper, the effect of velocity shear on Rayleigh–Taylor vortices has been demonstrated. An inhomogeneous plasma is considered with a density profile such that the diamagnetic drift velocity Vn=(cTe/eB)dn0/dx is a constant and includes the effect of an ambient poloidal shear flow Veq(x)=V⊥0′(x−x0)y. The final equation describing the stationary Rayleigh–Taylor vortex is shown to have the structure of a nonlinear Poisson equation, where the nonlinearity arises essentially because of the velocity shear term. This equation has been solved numerically and it has been shown that qualitatively new two-dimensional monopole vortex solutions may be obtained in the appropriate parameter space. Therefore, a new important nonlinear effect related to equilibrium shear flow has been identified in the calculations of Rayleigh–Taylor vortices which results in monopole-like solutions in plasmas. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The relationship of the recently proposed tokamak with spheromak shell (STSS) with other compact equilibria in the low aspect ratio A regime, e.g., spherical tokamaks, field reversed configurations, is studied. It is shown that these equilibria are complementary to equilibria with a magnetic hole studied earlier by Cowley et al. [S. C. Cowley, P. K. Kaw, R. S. Kelly, and R. M. Kulsrud, Phys. Fluids B 3, 2066 (1991)] in the large A regime. The former is perfectly paramagnetic while the latter is perfectly diamagnetic. Relevance of these results to the study of compact equilibria conducted recently on Tokyo University Spherical Torus(TS)-3 and TS-4 [M. Inomoto, Y. Ueda, Y. Ono, T. Murakami, M. Tsurda, M. Yamada, and M. Katsurai, Proceedings of the 17th Conference on Fusion Energy, Yokohama, 1998 (International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, 1998), Vol. 3, p. 927] is briefly discussed. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A transport bifurcation model for enhanced reverse shear (ERS) mode recently observed in tokamaks is given. The model includes effects due to evolution of magnetic shear and bootstrap current. It is shown that these effects substantially reduce the power threshold for ERS transition. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Vortex-like coherent structures are observed in the edge plasma of ohmically heated ADITYA tokamak [ Phys. Rev. Lett. 69, 1375 (1992)]. The structures are observed on statistical basis when the floating potential fluctuations are analyzed using conditional averaging technique. The structures, which have dipole nature, experience stretching until their radial isolation across the limiter is destroyed. The potential fluctuation also shows non-Gaussian statistics indicating intermittency in broadband turbulence of the edge plasma. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: It is widely recognized that in a typical dusty plasma encountered in the laboratory or outer space, the dust component is in a strongly coupled state because the interaction energy of neighboring dust particles due to shielded Coulomb ("Yukawa") forces is much larger than their thermal energy. Low frequency collective modes involving the motion of dust particles are therefore greatly influenced by the strong correlation effects in the dust component. In this paper a dispersion relation for low-frequency collective modes using a generalized hydrodynamics model for the dust component has been derived. Strong correlation effects are described in terms of viscoelastic transport coefficients and a finite relaxation time for the memory kernel. Novel collective effects such as new corrections to dispersion terms for longitudinal dust acoustic waves and the existence of transverse shear waves supported by strong correlations have been identified. New physical processes involving nonuniform charge number equilibria and delayed charging effects which could drive the shear wave instability have also been studied. A report on some new experiments where self-excited transverse shear modes are seen when the dust component of the plasma is in a strongly correlated fluid-like state is also presented. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Recent experiments and computer simulations have shown that the probability distribution function (PDF) of density and potential fluctuations associated with two-dimensional Rayleigh–Taylor turbulence in collisionless plasmas, may be exhibiting significant non-gaussian features. A possible interpretation of these results is that nonlinearly saturated coherent structures are formed which are however transient, because they are themselves unstable to fine scale secondary instabilities. An analytical investigation has been carried out to investigate some of these effects. The two- dimensional nonlinear equations describing the Rayleigh–Taylor turbulence are analytically solved; a dipole vortex solution has been obtained and its stability to secondary perturbations examined. Results show that there is a significant growth of the secondary perturbation due to ellipticity of the vortex. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The problem of helicity injection and current drive due to ion-cyclotron waves in a bounded inhomogeneous plasma is reexamined. It is shown that Hall term contributions (which had been neglected earlier in the work of Mett and Taylor [Phys. Fluids B 4, 73 (1992)]), even in the limit of small corrections of the order of ω/Ωi (ω and Ωi are the wave and the ion-cyclotron frequencies, respectively), improve substantially the parallel electromotive force (EMF) for the resonance layer. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: In this paper a novel mechanism is identified for the generation of gamma ray flashes observed on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory satellite. During typical cloud to ground lightning flashes, the electromagnetic pulse can create a self-focused whistler wave channel or duct to guide 10–102/cm−3 of ∼1 MeV electrons (formed by static stratified electric field in clouds at 20 km), to a height of about 30 km where these electrons can create the gamma ray flash by bremsstrahlung. This scenario combines the various observational features of lightning-generated electromagnetic pulses and low altitude energetic electrons to provide a viable nonlinear transport mechanism of energetic electrons to the desired altitude of 30 km for conversion into gamma ray flashes. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
