Compressible Turbulence in the Near-Sun Solar Wind: Parker Solar Probe’s First Eight Perihelia

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examined the normalized proton density fluctuations as a function of turbulent Mach number M t conditioned on plasma beta and cross helicity and found that δnprms/nplms/np〉∼Mt1.18±0.04 , consistent with both linear wave theory and nearly incompressible turbulence in an inhomogeneous background field.

Conditional Statistics of Magnetic Turbulence and the Lat- eral Transport of Solar Energetic Particles

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use a theoretical model supported by computer simulations, in which many particles are temporarily trapped within topological structures in statistically homogeneous turbulence, and ultimately escape to diffuse at a much faster rate.

Are statistical equilibria good predictors of large-scale behavior for dissipative fluids? The case of rotating turbulence

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined long-time properties of the ideal dynamics of three-dimensional flows, in the presence or not of an imposed solid-body rotation and with or without helicity (velocity-vorticity correlation).

Statistics of Pressure Fluctuations in Turbulent Kinetic Plasmas

TL;DR: In this article , a 2.5D kinetic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation of decaying turbulence is used to investigate pressure balance via the evolution of thermal and magnetic pressure in a plasma with beta of order unity.
