EVOLUTION OF TURBULENCE IN THE EXPANDING SOLAR WIND, A NUMERICAL STUDY
EVOLUTION OF TURBULENCE IN THE EXPANDING SOLAR WIND, A NUMERICAL STUDY
We study the evolution of turbulence in the solar wind by solving numerically the full three-dimensional (3D) magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations embedded in a radial mean wind. The corresponding equations (expanding box model or EBM) have been considered earlier but never integrated in 3D simulations. Here, we follow the development of …
