Dissipation and wave-ion interaction in the solar wind: Links between fluid and kinetic theory

Marsch, E.

In this paper we establish links between turbulence dissipation and wave-particle interactions in the solar corona and wind. Based on quasilinear theory, a set of anisotropic, multi-component fluid equations is derived, which describe the wave-particle interactions of ions with Alfvén waves and ion-cyclotron waves or magnetosonic waves propagating…
