Nonlinear Interactions in Spherically Polarized Alfvénic Turbulence

Turbulent magnetic field fluctuations observed in the solar wind often maintain a constant-magnitude magnetic field accompanied by spherically polarized velocity fluctuations; these signatures are characteristic of large-amplitude Alfvén waves. Nonlinear energy transfer in Alfvénic turbulence is typ...
