Review text

By means of techniques of nonlinear dynamical systems, we attempt to properly understand the turbulence in the solar wind, which is essentially a nonuniform streaming plasma consisting of hydrogen and a fraction of helium. We demonstrate that the observed large amplitude waves can generate solitary waves, which in turn, because of some propagating solar disturbance, can produce chaos in the medium. The chaotic fields thus generated can lead to anomalously large plasma heating and acceleration.
