Flow‐shear‐induced Compton scattering of electron drift instability

TL;DR: In this article, a nonlinear dispersion relation is obtained as a solution of the radially nonlocal nonlinear eigenmode equation, and the spectral intensity of the fluctuations scales with flow shear as (∂V0φ/∂r)−2 in addition to the linear dependence on the linear growth rate.

Reactive and resistive nonlinear instabilities

TL;DR: In this paper, it is argued that familiar nonlinear instabilities, such as three-wave decay instabilities and scattering off quasi-modes, have reactive and resistive versions.

Direct interaction approximation for Vlasov turbulence from the Kadomtsev weak coupling approximation

D. F. DuBois, +1 more
- 01 May 1985 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the weak coupling approximation of Kadomtsev is applied to Vlasov turbulence and shown to lead straightforwardly to the equations of the direct interaction approximation.

Stability of Langmuir waves in developing ion‐sound turbulence

D. F. DuBois, +1 more
- 01 Jan 1984 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that Langmuir waves are stabilized by a nonresonant quasilinear scattering of LW by ion sound waves in the presence of a background of developing ion sound turbulence.

Spiral galaxies as gravitational plasmas

TL;DR: In this paper, the existence and the value of the critical wavelength of the spiral structure arising due to nonresonant Jeans-type instability of gravity perturbations is explained.
