On the Interpretation of the Scalings of Density Fluctuations from In Situ Solar Wind Observations: Insights from 3D Turbulence Simulations

Solar wind turbulence is often perceived as weakly compressible and the density fluctuations remain poorly understood both theoretically and observationally. Compressible magnetohydrodynamic simulations provide useful insights into the nature of density fluctuations. We discuss a few important effec...
