Evolution of anisotropic turbulence in the fast and slow solar wind: Theory and Solar Orbiter measurements

L. Adhikari et al.

Summary: The study examines the evolution of anisotropic turbulence in the solar wind utilizing SolO measurements and the NI MHD turbulence model, finding that the ratio of energy components and fluctuations increase with the angle between the solar wind speed and magnetic field before decreasing again. Additionally, it is observed that solar wind turbulence is a combination of dominant 2D components and minority slab components as a function of heliocentric distance, with theoretical and observed results showing excellent agreement.

Subproton-scale Intermittency in Near-Sun Solar Wind Turbulence Observed by the Parker Solar Probe

Rohit Chhiber et al.

Summary: This study used high time-resolution solar wind magnetic field data from the Parker Solar Probe mission to analyze intermittency statistics near the first perihelion. The results revealed multifractal scaling in the inertial range, and monofractal but non-Gaussian scaling in the subproton range, with the transition to monofractality attributed to the presence of scale-invariant current sheets between ion and electron inertial scales. The study also ruled out incoherent kinetic-scale wave activity as a factor in the transition.

Evolution of Solar Wind Turbulence from 0.1 to 1 au during the First Parker Solar Probe-Solar Orbiter Radial Alignment

Daniele Telloni et al.

Summary: The first radial alignment between Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter spacecraft is utilized to study the evolution of solar wind turbulence from near the Sun to 1 au. The plasma transitions from a highly Alfvenic, less-developed turbulence state near the Sun to fully developed and intermittent turbulence at 1 au, providing strong evidence for the radial evolution of solar wind turbulence.

Turbulence in space plasmas: Who needs it?

W. H. Matthaeus

Summary: This paper reviews the impact of turbulence on fluids, magnetohydrodynamic systems, and plasmas, emphasizing the multiscale space-time properties of the turbulence cascade. It discusses the transfer of energy from large scale reservoirs, through the inertial range, to kinetic scales, as well as the application to space and astrophysical plasmas.

Turbulence transport in the solar corona: Theory, modeling, and Parker Solar Probe

G. P. Zank et al.

Summary: The primary goal of the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission is to answer how solar corona plasma is heated to produce the solar wind. Two turbulence models have been proposed, each discussing the heating mechanism of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence in the corona.

Large-scale Structure and Turbulence Transport in the Inner Solar Wind: Comparison of Parker Solar Probe's First Five Orbits with a Global 3D Reynolds-averaged MHD Model

Rohit Chhiber et al.

Summary: In this study, simulation results from a global magnetohydrodynamic model of the solar corona and solar wind are compared with Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observations during its first five orbits. The model includes various effects such as electron heat conduction, Coulomb collisions, turbulent Reynolds stresses, and heating of protons and electrons via a turbulent cascade. Comparison of simulation results with PSP data shows good agreement, especially for mean-flow parameters, and synthetic distributions of magnetic fluctuations are generated based on the model's turbulence amplitude.
