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…
In situ Measurement of Curvature of Magnetic Field in Turbulent Space Plasmas: A Statistical Study
Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, Yan Yang, William H. Matthaeus +10
Using in situ data, accumulated in the turbulent magnetosheath by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) Mission, we report a statistical study of magnetic field curvature and discuss…
Role of magnetic field curvature in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence
Yan Yang, Minping Wan, William H. Matthaeus +4
Magnetic field are transported and tangled by turbulence, even as they lose identity due to nonideal or resistive effects. On balance field lines undergo stretch-twist-fold process…
Scale dependence of energy transfer in turbulent plasma
Yan Yang, Minping Wan, William H. Matthaeus +5
In the context of space and astrophysical plasma turbulence and particle heating, several vocabularies emerge for estimating turbulent energy dissipation rate, including Kolmogorov…
Exploring the Statistics of Magnetic Reconnection X-points in Kinetic Particle-in-Cell (PIC) Turbulence
Colby C. Haggerty, Tulasi N. Parashar, William H. Matthaeus +5
Magnetic reconnection is a ubiquitous phenomenon in turbulent plasmas. It is an important part of the turbulent dynamics and heating of space and astrophysical plasmas. We examine…
