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…

Nature of Transonic Sub-Alfvénic Turbulence and Density Fluctuations in the Near-Sun Solar Wind: Insights from Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations and Nearly-Incompressible Models
Giuseppe Arrò, Hui Li, Gary P. Zank +2
Recent Parker Solar Probe measurements have revealed that solar wind (SW) turbulence transits from a subsonic to a transonic regime near the Sun, while remaining sub-Alfvénic. The…

One dimensional analytical solutions of the transport equations for incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence
Bingbing Wang, Gary P. Zank, Laxman Adhikari +1
We derive one dimensional (1D) analytical solutions for the transport equations of incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence developed by Zank et al. [2012], Adhikari et…
