摘要
Alfven wave mixing equations used in locally incompressible turbulence transport equations in the solar wind are analyzed from the perspective of linear wave theory. A Green's formula is developed for the wave mixing equations, in which the formal solution of boundary value and initial value problems for the wave mixing equations are given in terms of the adjoint Green's functions. The linear wave mixing equations with no sources are expressed in terms of variational principles, and conservation laws of the equations are obtained. We discuss the possible use of Green's formulas in turbulence transport in the solar wind.
