Effects of wave damping and finite perpendicular scale on three-dimensional Alfven wave parametric decay in low-beta plasmas
Feiyu Li, Xiangrong Fu, Seth Dorfman
Shear Alfven wave parametric decay instability (PDI) provides a potential path toward significant wave dissipation and plasma heating. However, fundamental questions regarding how…
Compressible Turbulence in the Near-Sun Solar Wind: Parker Solar Probe's First Eight Perihelia
Manuel Enrique Cuesta, Rohit Chhiber, Xiangrong Fu +10
Many questions remain about the compressibility of solar wind turbulence with respect to its origins and properties. Low plasma beta (ratio of thermal to magnetic pressure) environ…
On the Interpretation of the Scalings of Density Fluctuations from In-situ Solar Wind Observations: Insights from 3D Turbulence Simulations
Senbei Du, Hui Li, Zhaoming Gan +1
Solar wind turbulence is often perceived as weakly compressible and the density fluctuations remain poorly understood both theoretically and observationally. Compressible magnetohy…
Nature and Scalings of Density Fluctuations of Compressible MHD Turbulence with Applications to the Solar Wind
Xiangrong Fu, Hui Li, Zhaoming Gan +2
The solar wind is a magnetized and turbulent plasma. Its turbulence is often dominated by Alfvénic fluctuations and often deemed as nearly incompressible far away from the Sun, as…
Magnetic Energy Conversion in MHD: Curvature Relaxation and Perpendicular Expansion of Magnetic Fields
Senbei Du, Hui Li, Xiangrong Fu +2
The mechanisms and pathways of magnetic energy conversion are an important subject for many laboratory, space and astrophysical systems. Here, we present a perspective on magnetic…
