SHINE 2006 Turbulent diffusion as a requirement for a f(p) p-5spectrum J. A. le Roux& G. M. Webb IGPP, University of California, Riverside
EQUATION FOR ENERGETIC PARTICLE TRANSPORT IN RELATIVELY LARGE-SCALE COMPRESSIVE PLASMA FLUID TURBULENCE Turbulent convection Non-linear diffusion expression whereT is turbulent diffusion Turbulent stochastic acceleration
Solve transport equation assuming:(i) Equal compressive wave intensities in all directions (U* = 0)(ii) turbulent diffusion dominates spatial diffusion by Alfven waves (t >> )(iii) A steady state Equation to solve is:
Solution using separation of variables is: S = 3 if 0S = 5 if 1/lc Af(p) p-5spectrum is the natural outcome of turbulent diffusion and stochastic acceleration by relatively large-scale compressive plasma fluid turbulence
Alternatively, assume: (i) Non-relativistic particles (ii) Equal compressive wave intensities in all directions (iii) A steady state (iv) integrate overpinterval [p1, p2] after multiplying transport equation with4p2Ek - energy density form Diffusive energy flux through [p1,p2]
Assume turbulent diffusion dominates- f(p) p-5 as shown before.Then one finds that: Thus a constantdiffusive energy flux through interval [p1,p2] is a natural further consequence of turbulent diffusion and stochastic acceleration by relatively large-scale compressive plasma fluid turbulence.
