Transport of cross helicity and the radial evolution of Alfvenicity in the solar wind
TL;DR: A transport theory including cross helicity, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence, and driving by shear and pickup ions, is applied to the radial evolution of the solar wind as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical Investigation of Perpendicular Diffusion of Charged Test Particles in Weak Magnetostatic Slab Turbulence
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the theory of the field line random walk limit with the recent theory of spatial diffusion, specialized to one-dimensional field geometry, for a number of particle energies/rigidities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear evolution of the sheet pinch
TL;DR: In this paper, an incompressible, dissipative numerical code of the spectral type is used to follow the nonlinear evolution of a magnetohydrodynamic sheet pinch in two spatial dimensions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear guiding center theory of perpendicular diffusion: General properties and comparison with observation
TL;DR: In this paper, a nonlinear guiding center (NLGC) theory for diffusion of charged particles perpendicular to the mean magnetic field was proposed, which provides a natural mechanism to connect the perpendicular mean free path with the parallel free path.
Journal ArticleDOI
Turbulence Analysis of the Jovian Upstream 'Wave' Phenomenon
TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of the magnetic field and plasma observations using spectral methods is presented, which is consistent with the hypothesis that these fluctuations are driven by streaming ions, possibly protons.
