| Popis: | Propagation of whistler-mode waves in magnetized plasma in the presence of small-scale field-aligned irregularities with enhanced or depressed plasma density is simulated numerically. The numerical experiments have demonstrated the effect of guided propagation of whistler-mode waves in plasma regions occupied by irregularities with transverse dimensions smaller than the whistler wavelength in uniform plasma. It is shown that not only individual irregularities but also the entire modified region, which serves as a specific guiding structure, exhibit waveguide properties. |
