The negative energy beam mode is supported in the vicinity of the beam gyro‐frequency harmonics by a gyrating ion beam with ring‐shaped velocity distribution. Using a gyrating ion beam, we have examined how dust charge variations affect the parametric up‐conversion of high‐frequency whistler waves (WWs) into a side band wave and a low‐frequency mode. For the linked modes, a non‐linear dispersion relation is obtained. It is demonstrated that the WWs divided by beam gyro‐frequency harmonics are up‐converted by a gyrating ion‐beam frequency. An expression for the ion cyclotron mode wave growth rate has been obtained. The estimation of the turbulence growth rate takes into account for the typical parameters of existing dusty plasma. It has been observed that an increased growth rate is reported with a rise in the pump wave amplitude, beam gyro‐frequency, number density of dust grains, and the relative density of dust grains. However, a decline in the growth rate has been observed with increasing gyrating ion beam density and dust grain's size.","PeriodicalId":10700,"journal":{"name":"Contributions to Plasma Physics","volume":"94 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141779877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The investigation of thermal damage inflicted upon rocks by high‐voltage electrical pulses under multi‐physical field coupling is of great significance in the development of deep geothermal energy. This study establishes a damage model for rocks under electric fragmentation conditions by integrating electric field, heat transfer field, and solid mechanics field. Based on the developed damage model, the insulating properties, temperature variations, and forms of damage of rocks during electric fracturing are explored. Subsequently, the influence of voltage on rock damage status is investigated. The findings reveal that damage to the rock does not occur immediately after electrical breakdown; rather, it increases with the growth of current and temperature within the breakdown channel. Initial damage occurs at the ends of the breakdown channel, followed closely by damage in the central region of the channel. The predominant form of damage in rocks is tensile failure, with shear failure playing a secondary role, and the volume of damage increases with voltage. These results elucidate the characteristics of rock damage during electric fracturing, providing valuable insights for the engineering application of electric fracturing techniques.","PeriodicalId":10700,"journal":{"name":"Contributions to Plasma Physics","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141586277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerous researchers have conducted experimental studies on this topic, particularly in rock mechanics, where the breakdown occurs. However, there has been limited scholarly research on drilling fluid. Therefore, the study focuses on the drilling fluid suitable for electric pulse drilling, considering the characteristics of electric pulse rock breaking, which differ from traditional rock breaking. The study focused on the impact of various drilling fluid parameters on the effectiveness of electric impulse rock breaking using red sandstone as the experimental material. This was investigated using the finite element method, and indoor electric rock-breaking tests were conducted in a drilling fluid environment. The results indicate that the plasma channel mainly grows in the permeable layer of the drilling fluid, resulting in shallow rock breaking depth in the drilling fluid environment. The pore permeated by drilling fluid guides the growth of the plasma channel. The higher the conductivity of the drilling fluid, the closer the ion channel of rock breaking by electric pulse is to the rock surface. This results in a smaller crushing volume and shallower damage depth, which is more detrimental to rock breaking by an electric pulse. The viscosity of drilling fluid can impede the breakdown to some extent. In this paper, the influence of drilling fluid parameters on electro-pulse rock-breaking technology is preliminarily studied, which has significant reference value for the selection of actual drilling fluid.</p>","PeriodicalId":10700,"journal":{"name":"Contributions to Plasma Physics","volume":"64 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141511199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accurate theoretical description of these systems is challenging both, conceptionally and with respect to computational resources. While for classical systems, in principle, exact simulations are possible via molecular dynamics, this is not the case for quantum systems. Alternatively, one can use many-particle approaches such as hydrodynamics, kinetic theory, or nonequilibrium Green functions (NEGF). However, NEGF exhibit a very unfavorable cubic scaling of the CPU time with the number of time steps. An alternative is the G1–G2 scheme [N. Schlünzen et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. <b>124</b>, 076601 (2020)] which allows for NEGF simulations with time linear scaling, however, at the cost of large memory consumption. The reason is the need to store the two-particle correlation function. This problem can be overcome for a number of approximations by reformulating the kinetic equations in terms of fluctuations – an approach that was developed, for classical systems, by Yu.L. Klimontovich [JETP <b>33</b>, 982 (1957)]. Here, we present an overview of his ideas and extend them to quantum systems. In particular, we demonstrate that this quantum fluctuations approach can reproduce the nonequilibrium <i>GW</i> approximation [E. Schroedter <i>et al</i>., Cond. Matt. Phys. <b>25</b>, 23401 (2022)] promising high accuracy at low computational cost which arises from an effective semiclassical stochastic sampling procedure. We also demonstrate how to extend the approach to the two-time exchange-correlation functions and the density response properties. [E. Schroedter <i>et al</i>., Phys. Rev. B <b>108</b>, 205109 (2023)]. The results are equivalent to the Bethe–Salpeter equation for the two-time exchange-correlation function when the generalized Kadanoff-Baym ansatz with Hartree-Fock propagators is applied [E. Schroedter and M. Bonitz, phys. stat. sol.
