Testing for Markovian character and modeling of intermittency in solar wind turbulence

Abstract: We present results of statistical analysis of solar wind turbulence using an approach based on the theory of Markov processes. It is shown that the Chapman-Kolmogorov equation is approximately satisfied for the turbulent cascade. We evaluate the first two Kramers-Moyal coefficients from experimental data and show that the solution of the resulting Fokker-Planck equation agrees well with experimental probability distributions. Our results suggest the presence of a local transfer mechanism for magnetic field flu… Show more

“…However, the T ub and T bu transfer functions were also observed to be local, with most of the transfer between the velocity and the magnetic field taking place between the same shell. The remaining transfer (for non-neighboring shells) was observed to decay more slowly than in the T uu and T bb functions, but except for this detail no other indications of non-locality were reported.Similar results were obtained from analysis of solar wind turbulence(Strumik & Macek 200 Solar wind turbulence is often considered the MHD equivalent of hydrodynamic freely decaying wind tunnel turbulence (see Bruno & Carbone 2005 for a review).From 1996 Ulysses magnetometers time series and using a Markov process ap-proach,Strumik & Macek (2008b) concluded that the transfer of magnetic to magnetic energy was local. Then, using velocity and magnetic field time series from ACE spacecraft from 1999 to 2006 and performing the same analysis on the remaining transfers they concluded that all transfers were local.…”

“…The s * peculiar polarization might be associated with a horizontal current system flowing at the ground, switched on by an anomalous ground impedance generated by the fault break. It is thought that the low-frequency components (ULF/ELF) of seismo-electromagnetic emission (SEME) waves generated by pre-seismic sources (such as local deformation of fields, rock dislocation and micro-fracturing, gas emission, fluid diffusion, charged particle generation and motion, electrokinetic, piezo-magnetic and piezoelectric effects, and fair weather currents) are transmitted into the near-Earth space (Dobrovolsky, 1989;Teisseyre, 1997;Pulinets and Kirill, 2004;Sorokin, 2001). During their propagation through the solid crust, the SEME waves characterized by lower periods are attenuated.…”

“…For a valid spatial Markov process two assumptions must hold: (1) The spatial correlation structure must be statistically stationary and (2) the particles next to the velocity state depends solely on the current state (Renner et al, 2001a(Renner et al, , 2001bStrumik & Macek, 2008;Sund et al, 2017b). In this study we follow the methodology of Sund et al (2016) and define the scale over which these two assumptions are valid by making use of a less commonly used metric-the autocorrelation K of the particles' velocity along the trajectory,…”
