Shock waves propagation in the turbulent interplanetary plasma [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Space Research, 1996
AbstractEffect of turbulence on interplanetary shock waves propagation is considered. It is shown that background turbulence results in the additional shock wave deceleration which may be comparable with the deceleration due to plasma sweeping. The turbulent deceleration is connected with the energy losses due to the strong turbulence amplification ...

Lagrangian Stochastic Model for the Motions of Magnetic Footpoints on the Solar Wind Source Surface and the Path Lengths of Boundary-driven Interplanetary Magnetic Field Lines

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
In this work, we extend Leighton’s diffusion model describing the turbulent mixing of magnetic footpoints on the solar wind source surface. The present Lagrangian stochastic model is based on the spherical Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process with drift that is ...

Relationship of Transport Coefficients with Statistical Quantities of Charged Particles

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
In previous studies, a general spatial transport equation was derived from the Fokker–Planck equation. The latter equation contains an infinite number of spatial derivative terms T _n = κ _nz ∂ ^n F /∂ z ^n with n = 1, 2, 3, ⋯ .

Structure of the Turbulent Interplanetary Magnetic Field [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2006
We show that two widely used but apparently different models of the turbulent interplanetary magnetic field are closely related. One of these is the so-called quasi-static turbulence model, in which interplanetary magnetic field fluctuations are generated at a source surface near the Sun by random transverse plasma motions (such as supergranulation at ...

Kinematic models of the interplanetary magnetic field [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2019
Current knowledge on the description of the interplanetary magnetic field is reviewed with an emphasis on the kinematic approach as well as the analytic expression.

Cosmic ray fluctuations and MHD waves in the solar wind

open access: yesSolar-Terrestrial Physics, 2023
During large-scale solar wind disturbances, variations in galactic cosmic rays with periods from several minutes to 2–3 hours, which are called cosmic ray fluctuations in the scientific literature, often occur.

Nature, Generation, and Dissipation of Alfvénic Kinks/Switchbacks Observed by Parker Solar Probe and WIND

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The discovery of very prominent magnetic kinks/switchbacks in the solar wind within 0.3 au has become a scientific highlight of the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission. This discovery points at the promising impact of small-scale solar activity on the inner

Change of Spectral Properties of Magnetic Field Fluctuations across Different Types of Interplanetary Shocks

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
The interaction between interplanetary (IP) shocks and the solar wind has been studied in the past for the understanding of energy dissipation mechanisms within collisionless plasmas.

On the probability distribution function of small scale interplanetary magnetic field fluctuations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
In spite of a large number of papers dedicated to study MHD turbulence in the solar wind there are still some simple questions which have never been sufficiently addressed like: a)do we really know how the magnetic field vector orientation fluctuates in ...
