Turbulence vs kinetic instabilities

Turbulence vs kinetic instabilities
Two dimensional expanding box hybrid simulations clearly demonstrate
that kinetic instabilities may coexist with strong plasma turbulence and bound the plasma parameter space.

Recovering features of the observed solar wind spectra by means of high-resolution hybrid simulations

Recovering features of the observed solar wind spectra by means of high-resolution hybrid simulations
High-resolution two-dimensional hybrid simulations of turbulence with an out-of-plane ambient magnetic field are able to simultaneously reproduce several aspects of observed solar wind spectra over a large range of scales, from the MHD to the sub-ion kinetic range.

The imprints of expansion on solar wind turbulence

The imprints of expansion on solar wind turbulence
Numerical simulations show that solar wind expansion affects the evolution of turbulence in the heliosphere, causing the emergence of strong transverse magnetic fields and of radial velocity jets.
