摘要：

The effect of including the Braginskii viscous stress tensor in magnetohydrodynamics is remarked upon. It is shown that semiquantitative agreement with a recently observed anisotropy in the turbulent solar wind spectrum can be achieved in this way. The modifications of the dynamical equations are simple enough to permit their inclusion in numerical codes. The effects of large "ion parallel viscosities" also may be significant for plasma in quite different regimes than the solar wind.
