Energy Transfer and Dissipation in Plasma Turbulence: From Compressible MHD to Collisionless Plasma

This book revisits the long-standing puzzle of cross-scale energy transfer and dissipation in plasma turbulence and introduces new perspectives based on both magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) and Vlasov models. The classical energy cascade scenario is key in explaining the heating of corona and solar wind. By employing a high-resolution hybrid (compact finite difference&WENO) scheme, the book studies the features of compressible MHD cascade in detail, for example, in order to approximate a real pla...
