This book revisits the long-standing puzzle of cross-scale energy
transfer and dissipation in plasma turbulence and introduces new
perspectives based on both magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) and Vlasov
models. The classical energy cascade scenario is key in explaining
the heating of corona and solar wind. By employing a
high-resolution hybrid (compact finite difference & WENO)
scheme, the book studies the features of compressible MHD cascade
in detail, for example, in order to approximate a real plasma
cascade as "Kolmogorov-like" and to understand features that go
beyond the usual simplified theories based on incompressible
models. When approaching kinetic scales where plasma effects must
be considered, it uses an elementary analysis of the Vlasov-Maxwell
equations to help identify the channels through which energy
transfer must be dissipated. In addition, it shows that the
pressure-strain interaction is of great significance in producing
internal energy. This analysis, in contrast to many other recent
studies, does not make assumptions about wave-modes, instability or
other specific mechanisms responsible for the dynamics - the
results are direct consequences of the Vlasov-Maxwell system of
equations. This is an important step toward understanding
dissipation in turbulent collisionless plasma in space and
astrophysics.
