Dynamical age of solar wind turbulence in the outer heliosphere [PDF]
, 1998 In an evolving turbulent medium, a natural timescale can be defined in terms of the energy decay time. The time evolution may be complicated by other effects such as energy supply due to driving, and spatial inhomogeneity.

Turbulence in the interstellar medium [PDF]
, 2014 Turbulence is ubiquitous in the insterstellar medium and plays a major role in several processes such as the formation of dense structures and stars, the stability of molecular clouds, the amplification of magnetic fields, and the re-acceleration and ...

Phenomenology of hydromagnetic turbulence in a uniformly expanding medium [PDF]
, 1996 A simple phenomenology is developed for the decay and transport of turbulence in a constant-speed, uniformly expanding medium. The fluctuations are assumed to be locally incompressible, and either of the hydrodynamic or non-Alfvénic magnetohydrodynamic ...

Transport of cross helicity and radial evolution of alfvenicity in the solar wind [PDF]
, 2004 A transport theory including cross helicity, magnetohydrodynamic(MHD) turbulence, and driving by shear and pickup ions, is applied to the radial evolution of the solar wind.

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 ...

Three-dimensional spatial structures of solar wind turbulence from 10 000-km to 100-km scales [PDF]
, 2011 Using the four Cluster spacecraft, we have determined the three-dimensional wave-vector spectra of fluctuating magnetic fields in the solar wind. Three different solar wind intervals of Cluster data are investigated for this purpose, representing ...

Turbulence, intermittency and cross-scale energy transfer in an interplanetary coronal mass ejection [PDF]
, 2022 Solar wind measurements carried out by NASA's Wind spacecraft before, during and after the passing of an interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) detected on 12-14 September 2014 have been used in order to examine several properties of ...

Radial evolution of cross helicity in high-latitude solar wind [PDF]
, 2005 We employ a turbulence transport theory to explain the high-latitude radial evolution of cross helicity, or Alfvénicity, observed by the Ulysses spacecraft.

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 ...
