  • 以地面发射的高功率电磁波与电离层等离子体之间的相互作用为研究对象, 基于等离子体流体模型和Zakharov方法, 建立了用于描述地面泵波作用下电离层等离子体中波-波、波-粒相互作用的物理数学模型, 开展了电离层主动加热的数值模拟研究. 计算结果表明: 当地面发射的泵波在电离层等离子体中传播时, 反射高度处电磁波能量的沉积会产生较强的局部电场, 从而激发参量不稳定性过程; 当满足频率和波矢的匹配关系时, 会激发泵波、Langmuir波和离子声波三波相互作用的参量衰减不稳定性, 以及泵波、上混杂波和下混杂波三波相互作用的参量不稳定性; 在本文所研究的泵波频率和功率范围内, 泵波频率的降低会导致寻常波的反射高度降低, 且电子温度的扰动比例随着频率的降低而升高, 而泵波功率的增大则会导致等离子体从泵波中吸收的能量增大、电子温度升高. 本文数值模拟结果揭示了不同泵波参数对电离层等离子体特性时空演化的影响规律以及波-粒能量输运过程, 阐释了实验观察到的参量不稳定性和受激电磁辐射等的产生机制.

     

    In low-pressure plasmas, the collisions between particles are weak and insufficient damping from collisions, leading to the gradual development of various waves and instabilities. Thus, the effects of wave-particle interaction are non-negligible in the non-equilibrium transport processes in plasma under low pressure conditions. For example, the heating of ionospheric plasma by high-frequency electromagnetic waves plays an important role in achieving over-the-horizon communication. During the wave propagation through the ionosphere, the electromagnetic radiation changes the local electron temperature and density, and simultaneously, excites various wave modes and instabilities. This study focuses on the interactions between high-power electromagnetic waves emitted from the ground and ionospheric plasma. Based on the plasma fluid model and Zakharov method, a physical-mathematical model is established to describe the wave-wave and wave-particle interactions in the ionospheric plasmas under the excitation of the pump waves. The modeling results of the active heating of ionosphere show that when the ground-emitted waves propagate in the ionospheric plasma, the energy deposition of the electromagnetic waves at the reflection height will excite a strong localized electric field, leading to the parametric instabilities. When the frequency and wave vector matching conditions are satisfied, two different three-wave interactions will be excited, i.e. the parametric decay instability involving the pump wave, Langmuir wave and ion acoustic wave, as well as the parametric instability related to the pump wave, upper hybrid and lower hybrid waves. Within a certain range of pump frequency and power studied in this study, the decrease of the pump frequency will lead to the decrease of the reflection height of the ordinary waves, and simultaneously, the perturbation ratios of the electron temperature will also increase. A higher pump wave power will enhance the energy absorption of the ionospheric plasma by the pump wave, thereby increasing the electron temperature. The modeling results not only reveal the spatiotemporal evolutions of the ionospheric plasma characteristics under various pump parameters and the energy transport processes between waves and particles, but also theoretically explain the parametric instability, stimulated electromagnetic emission and other phenomena observed in experiments.
