Intermittent Structures and Wave Modes in Plasmas: From Turbulent Dynamics to Particle Transport
Session ID#: 249647
Session Description:
The solar wind plasma contains a variety of intermittent structures and wave modes, including current sheets, density filaments, magnetic islands, and velocity shears, alongside wave modes with distinct dispersion and polarization properties. These phenomena, spanning from magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) to kinetic scales, play essential roles in solar wind turbulence, energy dissipation, and particle transport. Moreover, structures and waves such as those driven by pickup ions are universally important for both heliospheric and planetary environments. Recent progress has been enabled by high-quality measurements from Parker Solar Probe, Solar Orbiter, MMS, and PUNCH, etc., as well as advances in modeling and data analysis techniques. We invite contributions that explore the identification and characterization of structures and waves in heliospheric plasmas, their generation mechanisms, evolution in turbulent environments, and their impact on plasma dynamics and particle transport. We welcome studies that highlight new observational, theoretical, or numerical results.
