Two-dimensional Hybrid Simulations of Kinetic Plasma Turbulence: Current and Vorticity vs Proton Temperature
Luca Franci, Petr Hellinger, Lorenzo Matteini +2
Proton temperature anisotropies between the directions parallel and perpendicular to the mean magnetic field are usually observed in the solar wind plasma. Here, we employ a high-r…
Alfvén-dynamo balance and magnetic excess in MHD turbulence
Roland Grappin, Wolf-Christian Müller, Andrea Verdini
3D Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulent flows with initially magnetic and kinetic energies at equipartition spontaneously develop a magnetic excess (or residual energy), as well in…
Solar wind turbulence from MHD to sub-ion scales: high-resolution hybrid simulations
Luca Franci, Andrea Verdini, Lorenzo Matteini +2
We present results from a high-resolution and large-scale hybrid (fluid electrons and particle-in-cell protons) two-dimensional numerical simulation of decaying turbulence. Two dis…
Anisotropy of third-order structure functions in MHD turbulence
Andrea Verdini, Roland Grappin, Petr Hellinger +2
The measure of the third-order structure function, Y, is employed in the solar wind to compute the cascade rate of turbulence. In the absence of a mean field B0=0, Y is expected to…
Turbulence in the sub-Alfvénic solar wind driven by reflection of low-frequency Alfvén waves
A. Verdini, M. Velli, E. Buchlin
We study the formation and evolution of a turbulent spectrum of Alfvén waves driven by reflection off the solar wind density gradients, starting from the coronal base up to 17 sola…
