Revisiting a classic: the Parker-Moffatt problem
O. Pezzi, T. N. Parashar, S. Servidio +6
The interaction of two colliding Alfvén wave packets is here described by means of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and hybrid kinetic numerical simulations. The MHD evolution revisits t…
Differential kinetic dynamics and heating of ions in the turbulent solar wind
F. Valentini, D. Perrone, S. Stabile +14
The solar wind plasma is a fully ionized and turbulent gas ejected by the outer layers of the solar corona at very high speed, mainly composed by protons and electrons, with a smal…
Transition to kinetic turbulence at proton scales driven by large-amplitude Kinetic Alfvèn fluctuations
F. Valentini, C. L. Vasconez, O. Pezzi +3
Space plasmas are dominated by the presence of large-amplitude waves, large-scale inhomogeneities, kinetic effects and turbulence. Beside the homogeneous turbulence, generation of…
