The dissertation of Gabriel Galad Plunk is approved.
The theory of gyrokinetic turbulence: A multiple-scales approach
They also found velocityspace scalings in accord with Eq. (252) (using a spectral representation of the correlation functions in the v⊥ space based on the Hankel transform of the distribution function; see Plunk et al. 2009).
Astrophysical gyrokinetics: kinetic and fluid turbulent cascades in magnetized weakly collisional plasmas
Plunk for discussions of the theory of gyrokinetic turbulence in two spatial dimensions.
Astrophysical gyrokinetics: kinetic and fluid turbulent cascades in magnetized weakly collisional plasmas
The complete derivation and analysis of 2D conservation properties of gyrokinetics in the electrostatic limit, including the invariant (F10), the electrostatic version of Eq. (F1), and their consequences for scalings and cascades, was given by Plunk et al. (2009).
Astrophysical gyrokinetics: kinetic and fluid turbulent cascades in magnetized weakly collisional plasmas
Other invariants introduced above can in a similar fashion be argued to give rise to inverse cascades in the hypothetical 2D situations where they are valid and provided there is energy injection at small scales (for the electrostatic case, see Plunk et al. 2009 and numerical simulations by Tatsuno et al. 2009b).
