Scientific paper

We present the results of numerical simulation of a turbulence transport throughout the heliosphere. The model is based on the Multi-Scale Fluid-Kinetic Simulation Suite to model the bulk solar wind flow in the presence of its charge exchange with the interstellar neutral atoms. We employ a differential turbulence model which determines the radial dependence of the quantities that characterize interplanetary turbulence: the energy per unit mass, the cross-helicity, and a similarity length scale. Pick-up ions are treated as a separate species. Our model incorporates known observational characteristics of the solar wind and is used to make large-scale predictions of turbulence distributions throughout the heliosphere. The parameters of the model are adjusted using observational data from Ulysses and Voyager spacecraft data from Voyager and Ulysses. The transmission of the solar wind turbulence through the heliospheric termination shock is discussed.
