A Model of Plasma Heating by Large-Scale Flow
P. Pongkitiwanichakul, F. Cattaneo, S. Boldyrev +2
In this work we study the process of energy dissipation triggered by a slow large scale motion of a magnetized conducting fluid. Our consideration is motivated by the problem of he…
Comment on the numerical measurements of the magnetohydrodynamic turbulence spectrum by A. Beresnyak (Phys. Rev. Lett. 106 (2011) 075001; MNRAS 422 (2012) 3495; ApJ 784 (2014) L20)
J. C. Perez, J. Mason, S. Boldyrev +1
The inertial-interval energy spectrum of strong magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence with a uniform background magnetic field was observed numerically to be close to by…
Scaling properties of small-scale fluctuations in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence
J. C. Perez, J. Mason, S. Boldyrev +1
Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence in the majority of natural systems, including the interstellar medium, the solar corona, and the solar wind, has Reynolds numbers far exceeding…
Distribution of Magnetic Discontinuities in the Solar Wind and in MHD Turbulence
Vladimir Zhdankin, Stanislav Boldyrev, Joanne Mason
The statistical properties of magnetic discontinuities in the solar wind are investigated by measuring fluctuations in the magnetic field direction, given by the rotation Delta the…
On the energy spectrum of strong magnetohydrodynamic turbulence
Jean Carlos Perez, Joanne Mason, Stanislav Boldyrev +1
The energy spectrum of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence attracts interest due to its fundamental importance and its relevance for interpreting astrophysical data. Here we present mea…
Magnetic Discontinuities in Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence and in the Solar Wind
Vladimir Zhdankin, Stanislav Boldyrev, Joanne Mason +1
Recent measurements of solar wind turbulence report the presence of intermittent, exponentially distributed angular discontinuities in the magnetic field. In this Letter, we study…
