Turbulence modeling provides a powerful tool for investigating realistic
turbulence
with large-scale inhomogeneities. An attempt to study fast
reconnection with the aid
of self-consistent turbulence model is introduced. Turbulence related to
magnetic
reconnection is not homogeneous-isotropic at all. Its statistical
properties depend on
the large-scale configurations of the...

Turbulence is a natural state of high Reynolds flows and is ubiquitous in
astrophysical
systems. In most cases turbulence is externally driven, but one also
expects the
outflows induced by reconnection to get turbulent. High resolution
numerical
resolution reconnection simulations in 3D also show the transition to
the turbulent
state. Therefore it is essential to understand how...

Oral
We present an in situ study of thin current sheets and associated
electron heating in
turbulent space plasma. We use Cluster observations made in the
turbulent plasma
downstream of the Earth's quasi-parallel shock and we analyze the
properties of
ion-scale current sheets. Intermittent structures were identified using
the Partial
Variance of Increments method. We studied the...
