Session ID#: 15773

Session Description:
Turbulence is a ubiquitous feature of space plasmas, and turbulent dynamics plays an important role in a variety of environments such as active galactic nuclei, supernova remnants, the solar corona, the solar wind and the magnetospheres of the Earth and other planets. To fully understand these environments, it is crucial to understand how turbulent energy is dissipated across scales, how particles are heated, accelerated and transported in collisionless plasmas, and how turbulence ultimately influences large scale features such as the solar wind. In this session we will focus on numerical and observational studies of heliospheric turbulence from MHD to kinetic scales. We welcome contributions that investigate the turbulent energy cascade, the role of intermittent structures such as current sheets and basic processes such as magnetic reconnection and wave-particle interactions. This session is central to upcoming the upcoming Solar Orbiter, and Solar Probe Plus missions.
