... In this section we study the dynamics of intermittency in our hybrid simulations of preferential ion heating in the solar wind. Intermittency in the solar wind can be studied using statistical methods such as ... See full document

... Interaction of microscopic fluctuations with the mesoscale structures naturally introduces the nonlocal property in the turbulent transport. Two prototypical pro- cesses are illustrated in Fig. 5. One process is ... See full document

... Turbulence is a common feature of astrophysical fluids. For instance, the interstellar medium (ISM) is known to be tur- bulent on scales ranging from AUs to kpc (see Armstrong et al., 1995; Elmegreen and Scalo, 2004; ... See full document
