Spectrum of kinetic plasma turbulence at 0.3-0.9 astronomical units from the Sun

Olga Alexandrova, Vamsee Krishna Jagarlamudi, Petr Hellinger +3

We investigate spectral properties of turbulence in the solar wind that is a weakly collisional astrophysical plasma, accessible to in-situ observations. Using the Helios search co…

Spectral transfer and Kármán-Howarth-Monin equations for compressible Hall magnetohydrodynamics

Petr Hellinger, Emanuele Papini, Andrea Verdini +4

We derive two new forms of the Kármán-Howarth-Monin equation for decaying compressible Hall magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. We test them on results of a weakly-compressible,…
