Numerical simulation of two-dimensional Langmuir turbulence
Degtyarev L M. , Ibragimov I. M. , Sagdeev R. Z. , Solov'ev G. I. , Shapiro V. D. , Shevchenko V. I.
A two-dimensional Langmuir turbulence has been simulated numerically. The results show that the energy of the Langmuir oscillations in this type of turbulence is localized in collapsing cavities which are constantly produced and which are "burned up" by Landau damping. The integral characteristics of the quasisteady state found from the simulation agree satisfactorily with an analytic model.
