Journal ArticleDOI
Turbulent heating of the distant solar wind by interstellar pickup protons in a decelerating flow
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extend the phenomenological turbulence model to include variable wind speed and incorporate the deceleration due to interstellar pickup protons into the model, which leads to higher temperatures in that region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nearly incompressible hydrodynamics and heat conduction.
TL;DR: By means of an asymptotic analysis, two distinct approaches to incompressibility are found for a low-Mach-number ideal fluid, distinguished according to the relative magnitudes of temperature, density, and pressure fluctuations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fading Coronal Structure and the Onset of Turbulence in the Young Solar Wind
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present image sequences collected by the inner Heliospheric Imager instrument on board the Solar-Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO/HI1) in 2008 December, covering apparent distances from approximately 4deg to 24deg from the center of the Sun and spanning this transition in the large-scale morphology of the wind.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current Sheets, Plasmoids and Flux Ropes in the Heliosphere. Part I. 2-D or not 2-D? General and Observational Aspects

TL;DR: A review of the evolution of views on processes related to current sheets, plasmoids, blobs and flux ropes of various scales and origins in the heliosphere can be found in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
The application of spectral methods in simulating compressible fluid and magnetofluid turbulence
TL;DR: A pseudospectral algorithm for the ideal gas MHD model that conserves energy in terms of the dynamical fluid variables and not, as is common practice, due to a separate energy equation written in conservative form is suggested.
