Numerical analysis and visualization of the ionospheric Kelvin-Helmholtz instability
Fourier spectral and pseudospectral methods are used in the numerical modeling of processes that produce ionospheric irregularities; namely the evolution of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) is studied. The simulation model consists of two-dimensional, electrostatic, nonlinear, and time depende...
