Area of Science:

  • Plasma Physics
  • Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics

Background:

  • Spiral structures are common in astrophysical phenomena.
  • Their formation mechanisms in magnetized plasmas are not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To formulate a theory for spiral structure formation in magnetized rotating plasmas.
  • To explain the role of plasma instabilities in generating these structures.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical formulation of spiral structure formation.
  • Analysis of instabilities including collisional drift wave, flute mode, and Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities.

Main Results:

  • Spiral structures are identified as fundamental entities in magnetized rotating plasmas.
  • The theory successfully reproduces experimentally observed spiral structures in electron cyclotron resonance plasmas.

Conclusions:

  • Plasma instabilities are key drivers of spiral structure formation.
  • The developed theory provides a robust framework for understanding these phenomena in laboratory and astrophysical settings.
