Abstract
AbstractThe nonlinear phenomena are of striking importance in understanding the particle acceleration, heating, and turbulence in the interplanetary space. Kinetic Alfvén wave (KAW) is one of the strong candidates responsible for accelerating the solar wind and powering the solar wind turbulence. Therefore, the nonlinear properties of KAW are attracting a good attention. In the present work, we have investigated the nonlinear effects associated with KAW in the solar wind plasma at around 1 A.U. The ponderomotive force of (relatively high frequency, high power) pump KAW may be used to excite the low‐frequency KAW (LKAW). For this purpose, we have derived the dynamical equations to analyze the nonlinear dynamics of relatively high frequency pump KAW in the presence of LKAW perturbation. The numerical solution has been carried out for the coupled system of equations by using the pseudospectral method for space integration and finite difference method along with the predictor corrector scheme for the evolution in time. The coupled system of nonlinear dynamical equations has been analyzed to study the nonlinear effects associated with pump KAW and the resulting turbulent spectra at 1 A.U.
