Anisotropy in space plasma turbulence: solar wind observations

TS Horbury, RT Wicks, CHK Chen - Space Science Reviews, 2012 - Springer
The local magnetic field induces many types of anisotropy in plasma turbulence, changing
the rate of energy transfer and affecting the propagation of energetic particles. It is …

MHD turbulence: a biased review

AA Schekochihin - Journal of Plasma Physics, 2022 - cambridge.org
This review of scaling theories of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence aims to put the
developments of the last few years in the context of the canonical time line (from Kolmogorov …

[PDF][PDF] MHD dynamos and turbulence

SM Tobias, F Cattaneo, S Boldyrev - arXiv preprint arXiv:1103.3138, 2011 - arxiv.org
Magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the universe (Parker 1979, Zeldovich et al. 1983). Their
interaction with an electrically conducting fluid gives rise to a complex system–a …

Role of magnetic reconnection in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence

NF Loureiro, S Boldyrev - Physical Review Letters, 2017 - APS
The current understanding of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence envisions turbulent
eddies which are anisotropic in all three directions. In the plane perpendicular to the local …

Anisotropy of Alfvénic turbulence in the solar wind and numerical simulations

CHK Chen, A Mallet, TA Yousef… - Monthly Notices of …, 2011 - academic.oup.com
We investigate the anisotropy of Alfvénic turbulence in the inertial range of slow solar wind
and in both driven and decaying reduced magnetohydrodynamic simulations. A direct …

Reflection-driven magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in the solar atmosphere and solar wind

BDG Chandran, JC Perez - Journal of Plasma Physics, 2019 - cambridge.org
We present three-dimensional direct numerical simulations and an analytic model of

Critical balance and the physics of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence

S Oughton, WH Matthaeus - The Astrophysical Journal, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
A discussion of the advantages and limitations of the concept of critical balance (CB), as
