摘要：

The topology of the magnetic and velocity fields at the kinetic scales are investigated in the context of nearly incompressible magnetosheath plasma turbulence. Using the unprecedented high-resolution data from the Magnetospheric MultiScale mission, the joint probability distribution functions of geometrical invariants characterizing the magnetic and velocity fields gradient tensor at the kinetic scales are computed. The topological features of the magnetic and velocity field gradient tensors and their symmetric component tensors present axisymmetric distribution patterns, indicating that the structure of the plasma turbulence at the kinetic scales are different from those in hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. Moreover, a strong correlation between the straining and rotational parts of the magnetic and velocity field gradient tensors was found, which manifests the dominance of sheet-like structures at the kinetic-scales dissipation in incompressible plasma turbulence.
