Abstract

The role of drift turbulence in momentum creation is studied for conditions prevalent in some space and laboratory plasmas. A new approach is presented to analyze non-linear kinetic simulations and to extract the role of wave–particle interaction in momentum creation. The approach is applied to the lower-hybrid drift instability where it is shown that the anomalous resistivity generated does not penetrate into the plasma even when electromagnetic fluctuations are considered.
