Model for vortex turbulence with discontinuities in the solar wind
A model of vortex with embedded discontinuities in plasma flow is developed in the framework of ideal MHD in a low <font face='Symbol'>b</font> plasma. Vortex structures are considered as a result of 2-D evolution of nonlinear shear Alfvén waves in the heliosphere. Physical...
