Overview
- Nominated as an outstanding PhD thesis by the Physics Department of Paris-Sud University, Orsay, France
- Proves for the first time, using direct numerical simulations, that turbulent heating is one of the main contributors to solar wind heating between 0.3 and 1AU
- Demonstrates that the observed turbulent wave vector anisotropy at 1AU is linked to turbulent anisotropy near the Sun, and to the imbalance of Alfvén wave populations
- Provides results that allow us to hypothesize on the properties of solar wind turbulence near the Sun, at the end of the so-called acceleration region of the wind, and which could be verified by Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter missions

About this book
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.
