Thermonuclear Driven Fast Magnetosonic Wave Heating in Tokamak Plasmas
A thermonuclear driven fast magnetosonic wave instability is investigated in tokamak plasmas for propagation transverse to the external magnetic field at frequencies of several times the alpha particle gyro rate: (omega)(TURNEQ)L(OMEGA)(, ) =k(,(PERP))v(,A), L(TURN)4 to 8, k(,(PARLL))<<k(,(PERP)). …

Impacts of Anisotropy, Wave Heating, and Neutral Winds on High-Latitude Ionospheric Dynamics
… (ion upflow) in response to a variety of plasma heating and uplifting processes such as DC electric fields and precipitation. Once ions have been lifted to high altitudes, transverse ion acceleration by broadband ELF waves can give the upflowing ions sufficient energy for the mirror force to propel …

Electron Temperature Enhancement Effects on Plasma Irregularities Associated with Charged Dust in the Earth's Mesosphere
… Summer Echoes PMSE may be modulated by radio wave heating the irregularity source region with a ground-based ionospheric heating facilities. It is clear from these past investigations that the temporal behavior of PMSE during ionospheric heating shows promise as a diagnostic for the associated …

Generation and propagation of longitudinal tube waves in late-type stellar atmospheres and the rotation-emission activity relation
Generated longitudinal tube wave (LTW) energy fluxes as a result of the interaction of magnetic flux tubes with the turbulent medium of the convection zones of late-type stars were computed. Solar magnetic flux tubes of different filling factors were heated with adiabatic and radiatively damped …

AGN outflows and the cluster cooling flow conundrum
… varied and its impact on jet morphology and the heating process studied. The jet opening angle was found not to impact the heating process, while a study on wave heating demonstrated the presence of sound waves. The third project involved varying the jet heating power as a trade-off of thrust, …

New-Measurement Techniques to Diagnose Charged Dust and Plasma Layers in the Near-Earth Space Environment Using Ground-Based Ionospheric Heating Facilities
… dusty space plasmas may be modulated by radio wave heating with ground-based ionospheric heating facilities. These experiments show great promise as a diagnostic for the associated dusty plasma in the Near-Earth Space Environment which is believed to have links to global change. This provides …
