A brief overview is provided as an introduction to hydrodynamic-like turbulence that characterizes the dynamics of plasmas in several parameter regimes. This includes magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), the electron fluid plasma, which is closely related to two-dimensional hydrodynamics, and the solar wind, which is usually viewed as a laboratory for three-dimensional MHD, with more involved plasma physics at the dissipative scales. An emphasis is placed on energy decay, spectra, relaxation processes, coherent structures, and higher statistics with selected applications in solar wind and laboratory plasmas. © 2012 Taylor & Francis.

Abstract
A brief overview is provided as an introduction to hydrodynamic-like turbulence that characterizes the dynamics of plasmas in several parameter regimes. This includes magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), the electron fluid plasma, which is closely related to two-dimensional hydrodynamics, and the solar wind, which is usually viewed as a laboratory for three-dimensional MHD, with more involved plasma physics at the dissipative scales. An emphasis is placed on energy decay, spectra, relaxation processes, coherent structures, and higher statistics with selected applications in solar wind and laboratory plasmas. © 2012 Taylor & Francis.File in questo prodotto:
