Scaling laws for the energy transfer in space plasma turbulence

R Marino, L Sorriso-Valvo - Physics Reports, 2023 - Elsevier
One characteristic trait of space plasmas is the multi-scale dynamics resulting from non-
linear transfers and conversions of various forms of energy. Routinely evidenced in a range …
