Magnetized vortex tubes in the solar wind plasma

Moussas, X.; Polygiannakis, J. M.

We make new applications of our previously proposed method for estimating the strain-rate tensor and vorticity vector in plasmas (concerning the local deformation and self rotation of the plasma fluid elements, respectively) solely from magnetic field time series. Here we use solar wind measurements of Ulysses spacecraft made in the outer heliosph…
