Density Fluctuations in the Solar Wind Driven by Alfvén Wave Parametric Decay
Trevor A. Bowen, Samuel Badman, Petr Hellinger +1
Measurements and simulations of inertial compressive turbulence in the solar wind are characterized by anti-correlated magnetic fluctuations parallel to the mean field and density…
The parametric instability of Alfvén waves: effects of temperature anisotropy
Anna Tenerani, Marco Velli, Petr Hellinger
We study the stability of large amplitude, circularly polarized Alfvén waves in an anisotropic plasma described by the double-adiabatic/CGL closure, and in particular the effect of…
Solar wind turbulent cascade from MHD to sub-ion scales: large-size 3D hybrid particle-in-cell simulations
Luca Franci, Simone Landi, Andrea Verdini +2
Spectral properties of the turbulent cascade from fluid to kinetic scales in collisionless plasmas are investigated by means of large-size three-dimensional (3D) hybrid (fluid elec…
Magnetic reconnection as a driver for a sub-ion scale cascade in plasma turbulence
L. Franci, S. S. Cerri, F. Califano +6
A new path for the generation of a sub-ion scale cascade in collisionless plasma turbulence, triggered by magnetic reconnection, is uncovered by means of high-resolution two-dimens…
Mirror instability in the turbulent solar wind
P. Hellinger, S. Landi, L. Matteini +2
The relationship between a decaying strong turbulence and the mirror instability in a slowly expanding plasma is investigated using two-dimensional hybrid expanding box simulations…
Proton fire hose instabilities in the expanding solar wind
Petr Hellinger
Using two-dimensional hybrid expanding box simulations we study the competition between the continuously driven parallel proton temperature anisotropy and fire hose instabilities i…
