Major objections are raised to the fundamental paradigm underlying conventional solar flare theory, viz., that the required free energy can be stored in situ at the requisite density in the corona in nonpotential magnetic fields by the action of phot

A new, 3-D electromagnetic (EM), hybrid, particle-in-cell (PIC) code, FLAME has been constructed to study low-frequency, large orbit plasmas in realistic cylindrical configurations. The stability and equilibrium of strong ion rings in magnetized plas

Current sheets may be the origin of fast dissipation rates in many MHD systems. The structure, formation and destruction of current sheets in force free MHD turbulence is reviewed. Special attention is given to the topological constraints that limit

We show that the two-dimensional E × B and Rayleigh-Taylor driven turbulence in the weakly ionized plasma of the Earth's ionosphere is isomorphic to the viscous convection of an ordinary fluid in a porous medium due to temperature gradients ( E is t

A model for the physical processes that could occur in the turbulent interior of an imploding, radiating, intense Z-pinch is outlined. In this model the nonlinear evolution of the m = 0 pinch instability leads to the formation of tangled loops of mag

This paper discusses the origin of the galactic magnetic field. The theory of the mean field dynamo in the interstellar medium is reviewed and shown to be flawed because it ignores the strong amplification of small-scale magnetic fields. An alternati

The physical nature of a new instability predicted earlier in the framework of a kinetic theory [Dimant and Sudan, 1995a, b, c] is clarified by using a simple fluid model. It is associated with ohmic heating of electrons by the modulated electric fie

The response of the magnetized plasma in an axisymmetric, plasma‐filled, solenoidal magnetic lens, to intense light ion beam injection is studied. The lens plasma fill is modeled as an inertialess, resistive, electron magnetohydrodynamic (EMHD) flu

Electron flow in multigap positive‐polarity inductive accelerators is studied by numerical simulation and modeling. The objective of this work is to determine the operating principles of the electron flow such that an optimally efficient design of

During the METAL campaign conducted at Andoya Rocket Range in September-October 1991, detailed in situ measurements were performed by means of plasma probes in the TURBO rocket payload. During one of the salvoes (30 September 1991), strong plasma den
