Weakly nonlinear ablative Rayleigh–Taylor instability at preheated ablation front
Stuart's weakly nonlinear theory is generalized to study single-mode ablative Rayleigh–Taylor instability (ARTI) at a broad ablation front caused by preheating. The thickness effect of the ablat...

A simple, analytical model of collisionless magnetic reconnection in a pair plasma
A set of conservation equations is utilized to derive balance equations in the reconnection diffusion region of a symmetric pair plasma. The reconnection electric field is assumed to have the function...

Three-dimensional simulations of moderately to strongly coupled electron-ion and multicomponent classical plasmas using the particle-in-cell method are presented. The simulations resolve sub-Debye-length interparticle spacing to accurately model the dynamics of these systems. We consider realistic mass ratios and quasiequilibrium conditions with different component temperatures which are relevant on short time scales. The simulation results are in very good agreement with classical hypernetted chain calculations for dense electron-ion and ion-ion plasmas. Our results demonstrate the feasibility and utility of large-scale particle-in-cell simulations for the modeling and analysis of multicomponent moderately and strongly coupled plasmas. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
