| 内容記述 | Equations are presented for the physical mechanisms involved in the resonant absorption of Alfven waves in the plasma sheet boundary layer. It is shown that energy absorbed by the plasma-sheet particles is a function of the central plasma sheet temperature. The heating curve, when coupled with convective transport, yielded an equation of state for the steady state plasma sheet, whose solution has the form of a mathematical catastrophe. The master equation includes dynamic terms describing the transition across the thermal catastrophe, making it possible to evaluate the time scale for the catastrophe to occur. |
