Shear-Driven Transition to Isotropically Turbulent Solar Wind Outside the Alfven Critical Zone
D. Ruffolo, W. H. Matthaeus, R. Chhiber +11
Motivated by prior remote observations of a transition from striated solar coronal structures to more isotropic ``flocculated'' fluctuations, we propose that the dynamics of the in…

Polytropic Behavior of Solar Wind Protons Observed by Parker Solar Probe
Georgios Nicolaou, George Livadiotis, Robert T. Wicks +2
A polytropic process describes the transition of a fluid from one state to another through a specific relationship between the fluid density and temperature. The value of the polyt…
