Scientific paper

Nonlinear processes in the solar wind drive a turbulent cascade of energy from large to small scales. Many aspects of this turbulent evolution can be described using fluid models, but near the wavelength of ion cyclotron waves, the spectrum steepens; evidence that the fluctuations are damped, heating the ambient plasma. Fluid models can be modified to approximate the physics of these kinetic processes by modifying the dissipation terms and by including extra terms which approximate some aspects of kinetic interactions.
