Abstract

This work presents a model to understand the generation of whistler turbulence in the magnetic reconnection region of magnetopause by the energetic electron beams (generated by magnetic reconnection process) as observed by magnetospheric multiscale mission [Zhao et al., J. Geophys. Res.: Space Phys. 126, e2020JA028525 (2021)]. In this model, the magnetic reconnection process has been replaced by the energetic electron beam source. Hence, the beam-driven whistler-mode dynamical equation has been set up by anticipating that it will grow from noise level due to beam energy and then will attain large amplitude such that nonlinear effects due to ponderomotive force will lead to the localization of whistler waves, and finally, this will lead to the turbulent state. For this, a non-linear two-dimensional fluid model is developed in which nonlinear interaction between high-frequency whistler wave and low-frequency ion acoustic wave (IAW) is pertinent to the magnetopause region. Due to large-amplitude whistler waves, ponderomotive force components emerge, which are included in IAW's nonlinear dynamics. The system of the dimensionless equations consists of the dynamics of whistler wave and IAW, and this has been solved by the numerical method. The results of the simulation show that the whistler's temporal evolution results in localized structures that eventually lead to turbulence. The relevance of the present investigation to the recent observations has also been pointed out.
