From: Energy transfer of imbalanced Alfvénic turbulence in the heliosphere
A and B Distributions of energy transfer rates, \({\varepsilon }^{{{\delta }{Z}}^{{{{{{\boldsymbol{\pm }}}}}}}},\) from shell \(Q\) to shell \(K\) by mediation of \(P\) modes in \(K-Q-P\) space (A for \({{{{{{\rm{\delta }}}}}}{{{{{\bf{Z}}}}}}}^{{{{{{\boldsymbol{+}}}}}}}\) and B for \({{{{{{\rm{\delta }}}}}}{{{{{\bf{Z}}}}}}}^{{{{{{\boldsymbol{-}}}}}}}\)). The light blue and light brown surfaces denote isosurfaces of \({\varepsilon }^{{{\delta }{Z}}^{{{{{{\boldsymbol{\pm }}}}}}}}\) with the values of −0.01 and 0.01, respectively. The planes filled with blue and yellow stripes denote the relations \(K=Q+P\), and \(Q=K+P\), respectively. C Ratios of the energy transfer rate by large-scale interactions (dashed lines) and by local interactions (solid lines) to the transfer rate due to all triadic interactions on a band of \(K\)-shells for \({{{{{{\rm{\delta }}}}}}{{{{{\bf{Z}}}}}}}^{{{{{{\boldsymbol{+}}}}}}}\) (green lines) and \({{{{{{\rm{\delta }}}}}}{{{{{\bf{Z}}}}}}}^{{{{{{\boldsymbol{-}}}}}}}\) (blue lines). The two vertical dotted lines indicate the inertial range of the simulated turbulence. The displayed variables are dimensionless.
