THE DISSIPATION OF SOLAR WIND TURBULENT FLUCTUATIONS AT ELECTRON SCALES
THE DISSIPATION OF SOLAR WIND TURBULENT FLUCTUATIONS AT ELECTRON SCALES
We present two-dimensional fully-kinetic Particle-in-Cell simulations of decaying electromagnetic fluctuations. The computational box is such that wavelengths ranging from electron to ion gyroradii are resolved. The parameters used are realistic for the solar wind, and the ion to electron mass ratio is physical. The understanding of the dissipation of turbulent …
