Abstract:Context. In space and astrophysical plasmas turbulence leads to the development of coherent structures characterized by a strong current density and important magnetic shears. Aims. Using hybrid-kinetic simulations of turbulence (3D with different energy injection scales) we investigate the development of these coherent structures and characterize their shape. Methods. First, we present different methods to estimate the overall shape of the 3D structure using local measurements, foreseeing application on satel… Show more
