Abstract
The Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission (MMS) has perceived whistler wave generation, coherent structures, and related turbulence close to the magnetopause reconnection zones. The current research examines coherent structure of whistler wave driven by an intense electron beam at the magnetopause’s magnetic reconnection sites as well as by the dynamic growth of magnetic islands. A nonlinear model of high-frequency whistler wave and low-frequency magnetosonic wave has been developed by using the two-fluid approximation. Nonlinear dynamics of 3D whistler wave and magnetosonic wave have been solved by the pseudo spectral method along with the predictor-corrector method and finite difference method. The simulation’s outcomes demonstrate the temporal and spatial development of the whistler localized structures and current sheets as a witness to the turbulence’s existence. Moreover, the turbulent power spectra have been investigated. The formation of the thermal tail of energetic electrons has been studied using the power-law scaling of turbulence development. We determined the scale sizes of current sheets and localized structures using a semi-analytic model and showed that these scale sizes rely on the power of whistler wave. We predict that the acceleration of the energetic electrons and heating in the Magnetopause may be caused by whistler wave.
