Turbulence in nearly incompressible fluids: density spectrum, flows, correlations and implication to the interstellar medium

Interstellar scintillation and angular radio wave broadening measurements show that interstellar and solar wind (electron) density fluctuations exhibit a Kolmogorov-like <i>k</i><sup>-5/3</sup> power spectrum extending over many decades in wavenumber space. The ubiquity of t...
