Characterization of local energy transfer in large-scale intermittent stratified turbulent flows via coarse graining

Raffaello Foldes, Raffaele Marino, Silvio Sergio Cerri +1

Recent studies based on simulations of the Boussinesq equations indicate that stratified turbulent flows can develop large-scale intermittency in the velocity and temperature field…

Evidence of dual energy transfer driven by magnetic reconnection at sub-ion scales

Raffaello Foldes, Silvio Sergio Cerri, Raffaele Marino +1

The properties of energy transfer in the kinetic range of plasma turbulence have fundamental implications on the turbulent heating of space and astrophysical plasmas. It was recent…

Scale-Dependent Dynamic Alignment in MHD Turbulence: Insights into Intermittency, Compressibility, and Imbalance Effects

Nikos Sioulas, Marco Velli, Alfred Mallet +7

Scale-Dependent Dynamic Alignment (SDDA) in Elsässer field fluctuations is theorized to suppress nonlinearities and modulate the energy spectrum. Limited empirical evidence exists…

Electron-only reconnection and ion heating in 3D3V hybrid-Vlasov plasma turbulence

C. Granier, S. S. Cerri, F. Jenko

We perform 3D3V hybrid-Vlasov simulations of turbulence with quasi-isotropic, compressible injection near ion scales to mimic the Earth's magnetosheath plasma, and investigate the…

Higher-Order Analysis of Three-Dimensional Anisotropy in Imbalanced Alfvénic Turbulence

Nikos Sioulas, Themistocles Zikopoulos, Chen Shi +10

We analyze in-situ observations of imbalanced solar wind turbulence to evaluate MHD turbulence models grounded in "Critical Balance" (CB) and "Scale-Dependent Dynamic Alignment" (S…

Revisiting the role of cosmic-ray driven Alfvén waves in pre-existing magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. I. Turbulent damping rates and feedback on background fluctuations

Silvio Sergio Cerri

Alfvén waves (AWs) excited by the cosmic-ray (CR) streaming instability (CRSI) are a fundamental ingredient for CR confinement. The effectiveness of self-confinement relies on a ba…

Gyrofluid simulations of turbulence and reconnection in space plasmas

T. Passot, S. S. Cerri, C. Granier +3

A Hamiltonian two-field gyrofluid model is used to investigate the dynamics of an electron-ion collisionless plasma subject to a strong ambient magnetic field, within a spectral ra…
