Wave propagation, phase mixing and dissipation in Hall MHD
No full textIn this thesis the effect of the Hall term in the generalised Ohm’s law on Alfvén (shear) and fast wave propagation and dissipation in the ion cyclotron frequency range is investigated.
The damping of an initially Gaussian field perturbation in a uniform Hall MHD plasma is treated analytically. Subsequently a 2D Lagrangian remap code (Lare2d) is used to study the damping and phase mixing of initially Gaussian field perturbations and a harmonic series of boundary-driven perturbations in a uniform field (in the presence of a transverse equilibrium density gradient). The same code is then used to study a range of initially shear and fast-wave perturbations in the vicinity of a magnetic X-type null point.
The magnetic energy associated with an initially Gaussian field perturbation in a uniform resistive plasma is shown to decay algebraically at a rate that is unaffected by the Hall term to leading order in kδ where k is wavenumber and δ is ion skin depth. A similar decay law applies to whistler perturbations in the limit kδ>>>1.
We demonstrate that in both geometries considered, the inclusion of the Hall term reduces the effectiveness of phase-mixing in plasma heating. The reduction in the damping rate in the uniform field (non-uniform density) cases, arising from dispersive effects, tends to zero in both the weak and strong phase mixing limits. In the Hall MHD X-point case, minimal reductions are seen for initially shear wave pulses, suggesting that little or no phase-mixing takes place. Nonlinear fast wave pulses which interact with the initial X-point destabilise the local field sufficiently to generate multiple null pairs; subsequent oscillatory current sheet behaviour appears unaffected by earlier differences between the MHD and Hall MHD cases
Oral history interview with Ken Hada
No full textKen Hada, author and professor, talks about his upbringing as a minister's son and shares how he became interested in writing and in poetry. He recalls submitting his first two poems for publication and having them accepted. Hada explains his creative process, the challenge of self-identifying as a writer, and co-founding the Scissortail Creative Writing Festival in Ada, Oklahoma. He also discusses a few of his projects, including writing vignettes to go along with his brother's paintings of the Arkansas River and his book Bring an Extry Mule.The Deep Roots: Oklahoma Authors Collection is a series of interviews with authors who discuss their lives, work, and creative processes

Ken Liu and Nick Admussen: the full conversation
No full textVideo of full conversation.Ken Liu - Award winning Science fiction author and translator Ken Liu sat down with East Asia Program's Nick Admussen to discuss the state of translation and science fiction originating from China. His talk titled, "Betrayal With Integrity: Conformance and Estrangement in Translating Chinse Science Fiction" is a one-hour lecture that discusses the origin of Chinese science fiction through translation of Western works. It proceeds to explore his own translation of the Hugo-winning novel, The Three-Body Problem trilogy, by Liu Cixin and its reception by readers in the West. Ken prepares the audience with some background on translation theory and the modern conception of translation as a performance in cultural negotiation and applies these academic concepts to genre literature in particular. He concludes the talk by extending the theoretical framework of "translation" to his debut novel, "The Grace of Kings", which melds Western and Chinse epic traditions by transposing a foundational narrative from one culture into another.Cornell East Asia Program1_4y1twcc
