Journal ArticleDOI
Variance anisotropy in kinetic plasmas
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the question of whether a kinetic plasma spontaneously generates and sustains parallel variances when initiated with only perpendicular variance and find that parallel variance grows and saturates at about 5% of the perpendicular variance in a few nonlinear times irrespective of the Reynolds number.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current Sheets, Plasmoids and Flux Ropes in the Heliosphere. Part II: Theoretical Aspects

TL;DR: In this article, a review of existing theoretical paradigms of the structure of the solar wind and the interplanetary magnetic field is presented, with particular attention to the fine structure and stability of current sheets.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Turbulent dissipation in the solar wind and corona
TL;DR: In this article, anisotropic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) cascades are used to explain interplanetary and coronal turbulence and heating, which are reviewed here.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical simulation of the generation of turbulence from cometary ion pick-up
TL;DR: In this article, the equations of incompressible MHD were solved using a two-dimensional 256 x 256 mode spectral method code to simulate this spectral evolution as an inertial range turbulent cascade.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large-scale behavior and statistical equilibria in rotating flows.
TL;DR: 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) are examined.
