Low-wavenumber forcing and turbulent energy dissipation
In many Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of turbulence researchers inject power into the fluid at large scales and then observe how it “propagates” to the small scales [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]. One such type of stirring is to take the force f(x, t) to be proportional to the projection of the velocity u(x, t) of the flow onto its lowest Fourier modes, while keeping the rate of i...
متن کاملOn the Theory of Large Amplitude Alfvén Waves with Collisionless Dissipation and Noise
The noisy kinetic derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation (KNLS) is investigated as a model of stationary collisionless Alfvénic shocklet turbulence and compressible MHD turbulence in a magnetized system, in general. Dissipation arises from Landau damping, enters via nonlinearity, and is distributed over all scales. The theory predicts that two different regimes or phases of turbulence are po...
متن کاملIdeal MHD turbulence: the inertial range spectrum with collisionless dissipation
The inertial range spectrum of ideal (collisionless/dissipationless) MHD turbulence is analyzed in view of the transition from the large-scale Iroshnikov-Kraichnan-like (IK) to the meso-scale Kolmogorov (K) range under the assumption that the ultimate dissipation which terminates the Kolmogorov range is provided by collisionless reconnection in thin turbulence-generated current sheets. Kolmogor...
متن کاملNew measure of the dissipation region in collisionless magnetic reconnection.
A new measure to identify a small-scale dissipation region in collisionless magnetic reconnection is proposed. The energy transfer from the electromagnetic field to plasmas in the electron's rest frame is formulated as a Lorentz-invariant scalar quantity. The measure is tested by two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations in typical configurations: symmetric and asymmetric reconnection, with ...
متن کاملStructure of the dissipation region during collisionless magnetic reconnection
Collisionless magnetic reconnection isstudied using a 2 1/2-dimensional hybrid code including Hall dynamics and electron inertia. The simulations reveal that the dissipation region develops a two-scale structure: an inner electron region and an outer ion region. Close to the X line is a region with a scale of the electron collisionless kin depth, where the electron flows completely dominate tho...
