Turbulent Dissipation Challenge: A community Driven Effort

Abstract

The goal of the present document is to present the idea of, and convince the community to participate in, Turbulent Dissipation Challenge. The idea was discussed in Solar Heliospheric and Interplanetary ENvironment (SHINE) 2012 meeting. The proponents of the idea Tulasi Parashar and Chadi Salem have prepared this document to circulate the idea in the community. The Turbulent Dissipation Challenge idea is to bring the community together and simulate the same set of problems and try to come to a common set of conclusions about the relative strengths of two different kinds of dissipative processes (current sheets/ reconnection sites vs. wave particle interactions). To take the challenge further, the simulators will provide artificial spacecraft data from the simulations for the observers to analyze.
