A Model of Turbulence in Magnetized Plasmas: Implications for the Dissipation Range in the Solar Wind

This paper studies the turbulent cascade of magnetic energy in weakly collisional magnetized plasmas. A cascade model is presented, based on the assumptions of local nonlinear energy transfer in wavenumber space, critical balance between linear propagation and nonlinear interaction times, and the ap...
