Directional alignment and non-Gaussian statistics in solar wind turbulence
(IOP Publishing, 2011)The magnetic and velocity field fluctuations in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence can be characterized by their directional alignment and induced electric field. These manifest as coherent spatial correlations which are ... -
Generation of non-Gaussian statistics and coherent structures in ideal magnetohydrodynamics
(American Institute of Physics, 2009)Spectral method simulations of ideal magnetohydrodynamics are used to investigate production of coherent small scale structures, a feature of fluid models that is usually associated with inertial range signatures of ... -
Generation of X-points and secondary islands in 2D magnetohydrodynamic turbulence
(AIP Publishing, 2013)We study the time development of the population of X-type critical points in a two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic model during the early stages of freely decaying turbulence. At sufficiently high magnetic Reynolds number ... -
Intermittency, nonlinear dynamics and dissipation in the solar wind and astrophysical plasmas
(The Royal Society, 2015)An overview is given of important properties of spatial and temporal intermittency, including evidence of its appearance in fluids, magnetofluids and plasmas, and its implications for understanding of heliospheric plasmas. ... -
Investigation of intermittency in magnetohydrodynamics and solar wind turbulence: scale-dependent kurtosis
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2012)The behavior of scale-dependent (or filtered) kurtosis is studied in the solar wind using magnetic field measurements from the ACE and Cluster spacecraft at 1 AU. It is also analyzed numerically with high-resolution ...
