Simulating Magnetic Switchback Structures in the near-Sun Solar Wind Observed by Parker Probe

The Suns atmosphere, the Corona drives solar plasma winds in to the interplanetary medium that consist of charged particles embedded with magnetic fields. The solar wind assumes the shape of a spiral moving radially outwards from the Sun which is known as the Parker Spiral. The Parker Solar Probe Mission has observed that the magnetic fields in the near-Sun solar wind undergo magnetic polarity inversions. These deviations are termed magnetic switchbacks. Magnetic switchbacks are also accompanied by variations in the solar wind plasma parameters. We present proof of concept simulations to test a hypothesis for the origin of magnetic switchback structures based on vortical turbulence in the solar wind and present our preliminary results here.
