The present work proposes a theory of isotropic and homogeneous turbulence for incompressible fluids, which assumes that the turbulence is due to the bifurcations associated to the velocity field. The theory is formulated using a…
Helicity is the scalar product between velocity and vorticity and, just like energy, its integral is an in-viscid invariant of the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. However, space-and time-discretization methods…
Estimation of the energy cascade rate in the inertial range of solar wind turbulence has been done so far mostly within the incompressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) theory. Here, we go beyond that approximation to include plasma…
