热电子等离子体无碰撞漂移波的稳定性

STABILITY OF COLLISIONLESS DRIFT WAVES IN A HOT ELECTRON PLASMA

本文采用Vlasov方程,分析了热电子等离子体中低频交换模和漂移波的性质,讨论了热电子成分的稳定作用。稳定交换模要求热电子成分约为10％,稳定漂移波要求热电子成分约为30%。文中还讨论了离子有限Larmor半径、等离子体密度梯度和温度、磁场曲率、扰动波长等参数对稳定性的影响。同MHD近似下强碰撞漂移波的结果相比较,热电子对无碰撞漂移波有更好的稳定作用。

The low frequency interchange mode and d ift wave in a hot electron plasma are analyzed by using the Vlasov equation, and the effect of hot electrons is discussed. The stabilization of the drift wave occurs when α~30%, and the stabilization of the interchange mode occurs when α~10%, where a is the fraction of hot electrons. The influences of ion Larmor radius, density gradient and temperature of plasma, wavelength of perturbation, and magnetic curvature, on the stability are discussed. Comparing with the results of the strongly collisional drift wave derived from the MHD approximation, the collisionless drift wave can be stabilized by the ho electrons more easily.
