Anisotropic viscous dissipation in compressible magnetic X-points
Context. Visco-resistive damping in line-tied magnetic X-points is examined. Aims. The goal is to determine whether fast, Alfvénic energy dissipation is possible for X-point disturbances damped by the plasma resistivity and non-isotropic viscosity. Methods. The response of X-points to planar and axial perturbations is explored numerically by solving the linearized compressible MHD equations in ...
متن کاملDissipation in Compressible Mhd Turbulence
We report results of a three dimensional, high resolution (up to 512) numerical investigation of supersonic compressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. We consider both forced and decaying turbulence. The model parameters are appropriate to conditions found in Galactic molecular clouds. We find that the dissipation time of turbulence is of order the flow crossing time or smaller, even in the p...
متن کاملCurrent singularities at finitely compressible three-dimensional magnetic null points
The formation of current singularities at line-tied twoand three-dimensional 2D and 3D, respectively magnetic null points in a nonresistive magnetohydrodynamic environment is explored. It is shown that, despite the different separatrix structures of 2D and 3D null points, current singularities may be initiated in a formally equivalent manner. This is true no matter whether the collapse is trigg...
متن کاملViscous dissipation effects in microtubes and microchannels
The effects of viscous dissipation on the temperature field and ultimately on the friction factor have been investigated using dimensional analysis and experimentally validated computer simulations. Three common working fluids, i.e., water, methanol and iso-propanol, in different conduit geometries were considered. It turns out that for microconduits, viscous dissipation is a strong function of...
متن کاملNanofluidics: viscous dissipation in layered liquid films.
We studied the layer-by-layer collapse of molecularly thin films of a model lubricant confined between two atomically smooth substrates. The dynamics of the consecutive expulsion of four molecular layers were found to slow down with decreasing film thickness but showed no evidence for confinement-induced solidification. Using a hydrodynamic model, we show that the sliding friction of liquid lay...
