摘要:

天体物理流体,包括星际和行星际介质,是磁化和湍流的。它们的出现、演化和整体性质是由搅动它的磁湍流决定的,我们认为,在基本水平上研究磁湍流对于理解许多过程至关重要。研究人员经常忽略的一点是,仅使用“蛮力”数值方法无法自信地理解磁湍流。在这篇评论中,我们说明了这一点上的一些例子,包括间歇加热等离子体的湍流,与宇宙射线的相互作用的湍流和影响的磁重联的速度。我们表明,磁湍流的性质可能会有很大的不同,在不同的环境中,例如,不平衡的湍流在太阳风不同于平衡的湍流,这两者都不同于部分电离气体中的湍流。呼吁更多的观测资料的必要性磁场,我们讨论了一种可能性,研究行星际湍流利用钠原子在彗星尾部的排列。

英文摘要:

Astrophysical fluids, including interstellar and interplanetary medium, are magnetized and turbulent. Their appearance, evolution, and overall properties are determined by the magnetic turbulence that stirs it. We argue that examining magnetic turbulence at a fundamental level is vital to understanding many processes. A point that frequently escapes the attention of researchers is that magnetic turbulence cannot be confidently understood only using "brute force" numerical approaches. In this review we illustrate this point on a number of examples, including intermittent heating of plasma by turbulence, interactions of turbulence with cosmic rays and effects of turbulence on the rate of magnetic reconnection. We show that the properties of magnetic turbulence may vary considerably in various environments, e.g. imbalanced turbulence in solar wind differs from balanced turbulence and both of these differ from turbulence in partially ionized gas. Appealing for the necessity of more observational data on magnetic fields, we discuss a possibility of studying interplanetary turbulence using alignment of Sodium atoms in the tail of comets.
