Turbulent Heating in the Solar Wind and in the Solar Corona
In this paper we calculate the turbulent heating rates in the solar wind using the Kolmogorov-like MHD turbulence phenomenology with Kolmogorov’s constants calculated by Verma and Bhattacharjee [1995b,c]. We find that the turbulent heating can not account for the total heating of the nonAlfvénic streams in the solar wind. We show that dissipation due to thermal conduction is also a potential he...
متن کاملTurbulent Spectra in the Solar Wind Plasma
Observations of interstellar scintillations at radio wavelengths reveal a Kolmogorovlike scaling of the electron density spectrum with a spectral slope of −5/3 over six decades in wavenumber space. A similar turbulent density spectrum in the solar wind plasma has been reported. The energy transfer process in the magnetized solar wind plasma over such extended length-scales remains an unresolved...
متن کاملHeating of the Low-Latitude Solar Wind by Dissipation of Turbulent Magnetic Fluctuations
We test a theory presented previously to account for the turbulent transport of magnetic uctuation energy in the solar wind and the related dissipation and heating of the ambient ion population. This theory accounts for the injection of magnetic energy through the damping of large-scale ow gradients such as wind shear and compression, and incorporates the injection of magnetic energy due to wav...

متن کاملCoronal Heating versus Solar Wind Acceleration
Parker’s initial insights from 1958 provided a key causal link between the heating of the solar corona and the acceleration of the solar wind. However, we still do not know what fraction of the solar wind’s mass, momentum, and energy flux is driven by Parker-type gas pressure gradients, and what fraction is driven by, e.g., wave-particle interactions or turbulence. SOHO has been pivotal in brin...
