Relaxation and magnetic reconnection in plasmas

JB Taylor - Reviews of Modern Physics, 1986 - APS
The theory of plasma relaxation is described and developed. Turbulence, allied with a small
resistivity, allows the plasma rapid access to a particular minimum-energy state. This …

Two-dimensional turbulence

RH Kraichnan, D Montgomery - Reports on Progress in Physics, 1980 - iopscience.iop.org

hydrodynamic and plasma applications are surveyed. The topics treated include the basic …

The solar wind as a turbulence laboratory

R Bruno, V Carbone - Living Reviews in Solar Physics, 2013 - Springer
In this review we will focus on a topic of fundamental importance for both astrophysics and
plasma physics, namely the occurrence of large-amplitude low-frequency fluctuations of the …

[BOOK][B] Magnetohydrodynamic turbulence

D Biskamp - 2003 - books.google.com
This book presents an introduction to, and modern account of, magnetohydrodynamic

beyond purely kinematic approaches to the dynamo effect like that introduced by Steenbeck …

Measurement of the rugged invariants of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in the solar wind

WH Matthaeus, ML Goldstein - Journal of Geophysical …, 1982 - Wiley Online Library
Measurements of the total energy, cross helicity, and magnetic helicity of the solar wind at 1,
2.8, and 5 AU are presented. These quantities are the three rugged invariants of three …
