Turbulence in classical fluids is characterized by persistent structures that emerge from the chaotic landscape. We investigate the analogous process in fully kinetic plasma turbulence by using high-resolution, direct numerical simulations…

The results of numerical simulations of the Hasegawa-Wakatani equation demonstrate that, similarly to decaying turbulence in 2D fluids, at a small electron adiabaticity parameter, the resistive-drift-wave (RDW) turbulence is dominated by…
