Some Similarities and Differences Between the Observed Alfvénic Fluctuations in the Fast Solar Wind and Navier–Stokes Turbulence

Using two long data sets analyzed on equal footing, the properties of Alfvénic fluctuations in the fast (coronal-hole-origin) solar wind and Navier–Stokes turbulence are compared. A 26.4-s-long interval of hot-wire measurements in the ONERA wind tunnel is used, and a 71-h-long interval of unperturbe...
