Global convective cell formation in pair-ion plasmas
- Center for Plasma Astrophysics, Celestijnenlaan 200B, 3001 Leuven (Belgium)
The global electrostatic mode in pair-ion plasmas is discussed for cylindric geometry and for a radially inhomogeneous equilibrium density. In the case of a Gaussian radial density profile, exact analytical eigensolutions are found in terms of the Kummer confluent hypergeometric functions. The mode is identified as a convective cell propagating in the poloidal and axial direction, having at the same time a standing wave structure in the radial direction.
