Investigating current structures in 3D-3V hybrid Vlasov simulations of turbulence

<p><span>In space and astrophysical plasmas magnetized coherent structures continuously emerge as an outcome of the nonlinear dynamics. These structures are characterized&#160; by the presence of localized strong current density peaks. Here we present a statistical study of the development of such structures resulting in different hybrid-Vlasov 3D-3V simulations of plasma turbulence. In particular, we make use of different methods to characterize the global shape of the 3D structures. Furthermore, we study the local magnetic configuration inside and outside current peak regions, comparing the statistics in the two cases. Finally, we discuss correlations between characteristic dimensions of the current structures and current density, marking the difference between magnetic structures in 2D and 3D simulations.<br></span></p>
