摘要
The inertial range scaling of certain mixed third-order moments of velocity and magnetic field fluctuations in a turbulent MHD plasma such as the solar wind is related to the energy dissipation rate of the turbulence. We have used this relation to measure energy dissipation rates in the solar wind and other statistical methods to estimate the accuracy of these measurements. This paper reviews results we and others have recently published, and some new results.
