von Karman Correlation Similarity of the Turbulent Interplanetary Magnetic Field
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2021 Abstract A major development underlying much of hydrodynamic turbulence theory is the similarity decay hypothesis due to von Karman and Howarth here extended empirically to magnetic field fluctuations in the solar wind. In similarity decay the second-order correlation experiences a continuous transformation based on a universal ...

Solar and Interplanetary Turbulence: Lagrangian Coherent Structures
, 2020 <p>The dynamics of solar and interplanetary plasmas is governed by coherent structures such as current sheets and magnetic flux ropes which are responsible for the genesis of intermittent turbulence via magnetic reconnections in solar supergranular junctions, solar coronal loops, the shock-sheath region of an interplanetary ...

Interpretation of Flat Energy Spectra Upstream of Fast Interplanetary Shocks
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Interplanetary shocks are large-scale heliospheric structures often caused by eruptive phenomena at the Sun, and represent one of the main sources of energetic particles.

MHD Turbulence in the Solar Wind and Interplanetary Dynamo Effects [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1993 From the fluctuations of the velocity and magnetic field observed in different kinds of solar wind the fluctuating electric fields are derived, and their power spectra are constructed and analysed. The mean electromotive force ɛ generated by the turbulent motions depends upon the nature of the fluctuations.

Radial evolution of power spectra of interplanetary Alfvénic turbulence [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1982 The radial evolution of the power spectra of the MHD turbulence within the trailing edge of high‐speed streams in the solar wind has been investigated with the magnetic field data of HELIOS 1 and 2 for heliocentric distances between 0.3 and 0.9 AU. In the analyzed frequency range 2.8 · 10−4 ‐ 8.3 · 10−2 Hz the computed spectra have, near the earth ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Large surveys of the power spectral density of the magnetic fluctuations in the solar wind have reported different slope distributions at MHD, sub-ion and sub-electron scales: the smaller the scale, the broader the distribution.
