Zusammenfassung |
Alfvénic turbulent cascade perpendicular and parallel to the background magnetic field is
studied accounting for anisotropic dispersive effects and turbulent intermittency. The
perpendicular dispersion and intermittency make the perpendicular-wavenumber magnetic
spectra steeper and speed up production of high ion-cyclotron frequencies by the turbulent
cascade. On the contrary, the parallel dispersion makes the spectra flatter and decelerate the
frequency cascade above the ion-cyclotron frequency. Competition of these factors results in
spectral indices distributed in the interval [-2,-3], where -2 is the index of high-frequency
space-filling turbulence, and -3 is the index of low-frequency intermittent turbulence formed
by tube-like fluctuations. Spectra of fully intermittent turbulence fill a narrower
range of spectral indices [-7/3,-3], which almost coincides with the range of indexes
measured in the solar wind. This suggests that the kinetic-scale turbulent spectra
are mainly shaped by the dispersion and intermittency. A small mismatch with
measured indexes of about 0.1 can be associated with damping effects not studied here. |
