Formation of Rotational Discontinuities in Compressive three-dimensional MHD Turbulence
Liping Yang, Lei Zhang, Jiansen He +6
Measurements of solar wind turbulence reveal the ubiquity of discontinuities. In this study, we investigate how the discontinuities, especially rotational discontinuities (RDs), ar…

Occurrence Rates and Heating Effects of Tangential and Rotational Discontinuities as Obtained from Three-dimensional Simulation of Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
Lei Zhang, Jiansen He, Chuanyi Tu +4
In solar wind, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) discontinuities are ubiquitous and often found to be at the origin of turbulence intermittency. They may also play a key role in the turbul…
