Magnetic reconnection in two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic turbulence.
TL;DR: Systematic analysis of numerical simulations of two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic turbulence reveals the presence of a large number of X-type neutral points where magnetic reconnection occurs, and examines the statistical properties of this ensemble of reconnection events that are spontaneously generated by turbulence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Statistical Analysis of Discontinuities in Solar Wind ACE Data and Comparison with Intermittent MHD Turbulence
Antonella Greco,Antonella Greco,William H. Matthaeus,Sergio Servidio,P. Chuychai,Pablo Dmitruk +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a comparison between Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) solar wind data and simulations of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence shows a good agreement in the waiting-time analysis of magnetic field increments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for Inhomogeneous Heating in the Solar Wind
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations to probe the nature of turbulence heating and found that significant inhomogeneous heating occurs in the solar wind, connected with current sheets that are dynamically generated by MHD turbulence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Local kinetic effects in two-dimensional plasma turbulence.
TL;DR: Using direct numerical simulations of a hybrid Vlasov-Maxwell model, kinetic processes are investigated in a two-dimensional turbulent plasma, opening a new path on the study of kinetic processes such as heating, particle acceleration, and temperature anisotropy, commonly observed in astrophysical and laboratory plasmas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intermittent MHD structures and classical discontinuities
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined statistics of rapid spatial variations of the magnetic field in simulations of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence, by analyzing intermittency properties, and by using classical methods for identifying discontinuities.
