Turbulence and its Potential Impact on Solar Chromospheric and Coronal Heating
Gary P. Zank, Xiaocan Li, Krishna Khanal +8
Low-frequency turbulence in the solar chromosphere remains poorly understood. We address 1) the sources of low-frequency turbulence that potentially heat the chromosphere, and 2) h…

Two-Dimensional Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability with Anisotropic Pressure
Shishir Biswas, Masaru Nakanotani, Dinshaw S. Balsara +2
The Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability occurs in multiple heliospheric (solar-wind stream interfaces, planetary magnetospheres, cometary tails, heliopause flanks) and interstellar (…

Turbulence, Waves, and Taylor's Hypothesis for Heliosheath Observations
L. -L. Zhao, G. P. Zank, M. Opher +6
Magnetic field fluctuations measured in the heliosheath by the Voyager spacecraft are often characterized as compressible, as indicated by a strong fluctuating component parallel t…
