متن کاملMagnetohydrodynamic Turbulence: Generalized Energy Spectra
A general framework that incorporates the Iroshnikov-Kraichnan (IK) and Goldreich-Sridhar (GS) phenomenalogies of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence is developed. This affords a clarification of the regimes of validity of IK and GS phenomenalogies and hence help resolve some controversies in this problem. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows that occur naturally (like astrophysical situations) and...
متن کاملNonuniversality and Finite Dissipation in Decaying Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence.
A model equation for the Reynolds number dependence of the dimensionless dissipation rate in freely decaying homogeneous magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in the absence of a mean magnetic field is derived from the real-space energy balance equation, leading to Cϵ=Cϵ,∞+C/R-+O(1/R-(2)), where R- is a generalized Reynolds number. The constant Cϵ,∞ describes the total energy transfer flux. This flux ...
متن کاملEnergy transfer in anisotropic magnetohydrodynamic turbulence.
A spectral analysis of anisotropic magnetohydrodynamic turbulence, in presence of a constant magnetic field, is presented using high-resolution direct numerical simulations. A method of decomposing the spectral space into ring structures is presented and the energy transfers between such rings are studied. This decomposition method takes into account the angular dependency of energy transfers i...
متن کاملThe Energy Dissipation Rate of Supersonic, Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence in Molecular Clouds
Molecular clouds have broad linewidths suggesting turbulent supersonic motions in the clouds. These motions are usually invoked to explain why molecular clouds take much longer than a free-fall time to form stars. It has classically been thought that supersonic hydrodynamical turbulence would dissipate its energy quickly, but that the introduction of strong magnetic elds could maintain these mo...
