This book presents two important new findings. First, it
demonstrates from first principles that turbulent heating offers an
explanation for the non-adiabatic decay of proton temperature in
solar wind. Until now, this was only proved with reduced or
phenomenological models. Second, the book demonstrates that the two
types of anisotropy of turbulent fluctuations that are observed in
solar wind at 1AU originate not only from two distinct classes of
conditions near the Sun but also from the imbalance in Alfven wave
populations. These anisotropies do not affect the overall turbulent
heating if we take into account the relation observed in solar wind
between anisotropy and Alfven wave imbalance. In terms of the
methods used to obtain these achievements, the author shows the
need to find a very delicate balance between turbulent decay and
expansion losses, so as to directly solve the magnetohydrodynamic
equations, including the wind expansion effects.
