天体物理等离子体turbulence在太阳风观测中的新进展

Recent progress in astrophysical plasma turbulence from solar wind observations

C. H. K. Chen

摘要:

本文总结了一些最近的进展,已在了解天体物理等离子体湍流的太阳风,从现场航天器的观测。在大尺度上,湍流主要是Alfvenic的,临界平衡,剩余能量和三维结构的测量进行了讨论,以及最近的强Alfvenic湍流模型的比较。在这些尺度上,百分之几的能量也在压缩波动中,它们的性质,各向异性,以及与Alfvenic分量的关系被描述。在小尺度的动力学范围内,低于离子gyroscale,湍流成为主要动力学Alfven在性质上,和测量的光谱,各向异性,并讨论了这种湍流的不稳定性相对于最近的级联模型。剩下的主要问题之一是如何耗散的湍流能量,和一些最近的工作在这个问题上,除了未来的空间任务,这将有助于回答这个问题,简要讨论。

英文摘要:

This paper summarises some of the recent progress that has been made in understanding astrophysical plasma turbulence in the solar wind, from in situ spacecraft observations. At large scales, where the turbulence is predominantly Alfvenic, measurements of critical balance, residual energy, and 3D structure are discussed, along with comparison to recent models of strong Alfvenic turbulence. At these scales, a few percent of the energy is also in compressive fluctuations, and their nature, anisotropy, and relation to the Alfvenic component is described. In the small scale kinetic range, below the ion gyroscale, the turbulence becomes predominantly kinetic Alfven in nature, and measurements of the spectra, anisotropy, and intermittency of this turbulence are discussed with respect to recent cascade models. One of the major remaining questions is how the turbulent energy is dissipated, and some recent work on this question, in addition to future space missions which will help to answer it, are briefly discussed.
