Conditions for sustainment of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence driven by Alfvén waves
(American Institute of Physics, 2001)In a number of space and astrophysical plasmas,turbulence is driven by the supply of wave energy. In the context of incompressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) there are basic physical reasons, associated with conservation ... -
Coronal heating distribution due to low-frequency, wave-driven turbulence
(University of Chicago Press, 2002)The heating of the lower solar corona is examined using numerical simulations and theoretical models of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in open magnetic regions. A turbulent energy cascade to small length scales perpendicular ... -
Coronal MHD transport theory and phenomenology
(American Institute of Physics, 2003)In the presence of a weakly inhomogeneous background, magnetohydrodynamic fluctuations are transported, reflected and at small scales, dissipated. In contrast to orderings appropriate to outer solar wind conditions, here ... -
MHD turbulence and heating of the open field-line solar corona
(European Geoscience Union, 2003)This paper discusses the possibility that heating of the solar corona in open field-line regions emanating from coronal holes is due to a nonlinear cascade, driven by low-frequency or quasi-static magnetohydrodynamic ... -
A reduced magnetohydrodynamic model of coronal heating in open magnetic regions driven by reflected low-frequency waves
(University of Chicago Press, 2001)A reduced magnetohydrodynamic (RMHD) description is employed to examine a suggestion made by W. H. Matthaeus and colleagues in 1999 that coronal heating might be sustained by a cascade of low-frequency MHD turbulence. Here ...
