由WIND航天器观测到的太阳风体等离子体参数波动的间歇性、定标和福克-普朗克方法

Intermittency, scaling and the Fokker-Planck approach to fluctuations of the solar wind bulk plasma parameters as seen by the WIND spacecraft

Bogdan Hnat, Sandra C. Chapman, George Rowlands

摘要:

太阳风提供了一个天然的实验室,在扩展的时间尺度上观测MHD湍流。在这里,我们应用一个模型独立的差分和重标度的方法来识别自相似性的概率密度函数(PDF)的波动,太阳风散装等离子体参数所看到的风航天器。虽然速度v和IMF幅度B的波动是多重分形的,但我们发现离子密度rho、能量密度B^2和rho v^2以及MHD近似的坡印廷通量vB^2的波动在时间尺度上是单尺度的直到~26小时。我们发现,描述所有这些量到这个时间尺度的波动PDF的单一曲线是非高斯的。我们用两种方法来模拟这种PDF-福克-普朗克,我们推导出的传输系数和相关的朗之万方程,和Castaing分布,所产生的间歇性湍流级联模型。

英文摘要:

The solar wind provides a natural laboratory for observations of MHD turbulence over extended temporal scales. Here, we apply a model independent method of differencing and rescaling to identify self-similarity in the Probability Density Functions (PDF) of fluctuations in solar wind bulk plasma parameters as seen by the WIND spacecraft. Whereas the fluctuations of speed v and IMF magnitude B are multi-fractal, we find that the fluctuations in the ion density rho, energy densities B^2 and rho v^2 as well as MHD-approximated Poynting flux vB^2 are mono-scaling on the timescales up to ~26 hours. The single curve, which we find to describe the fluctuations PDF of all these quantities up to this timescale, is non-Gaussian. We model this PDF with two approaches-- Fokker-Planck, for which we derive the transport coefficients and associated Langevin equation, and the Castaing distribution that arises from a model for the intermittent turbulent cascade.
