Intermittency of Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence: Astrophysical Perspective
Intermittency is an essential property of astrophysical fluids, which demonstrate an extended inertial range. As intermittency violates self-similarity of motions, it gets impossible to naively extrapolate the properties of fluid obtained computationally with relatively low resolution to the actual astrophysical situations. In terms of Astrophysics, intermittency affects turbulent heating, mome...
متن کاملQuasi-static magnetohydrodynamic turbulence at high Reynolds number
We analyse the anisotropy of homogeneous turbulence in an electrically conducting fluid submitted to a uniform magnetic field, for low magnetic Reynolds number, in the quasi-static approximation. We interpret contradictory earlier predictions between linearized theory and simulations: in the linear limit, the kinetic energy of transverse velocity components, normal to the magnetic field, decays...
متن کاملIntermittency, synthetic turbulence and wavelet structure functions
Some techniques for the study of intermittency by means of wavelet transforms, are presented on an example of synthetic turbulent signal. Several features of the turbulent field, that cannot be probed looking at standard structure function scaling, become accessible in this way. The concept of a directly measurable intermittency scale, distinct from the scale of the fluctuations, is introduced....
متن کاملIntermittency of Burgers’ Turbulence
We consider the tails of probability density function (PDF) for the velocity that satisfies Burgers equation driven by a Gaussian large-scale force. The saddle-point approximation is employed in the path integral so that the calculation of the PDF tails boils down to finding the special field-force configuration (instanton) that realizes the extremum of probability. For the PDFs of velocity and...
متن کاملIntermittency in Plasma Turbulence
Intermittency in fluid turbulence can be evidentiated through the analysis of Probability Distribution Functions (PDF) for velocity fluctuations, which display a strong non–gaussian behavior at small scales. In this paper we investigate the occurrence of intermittency in plasma turbulence by studying the departure from the gaussian distribution of PDF for both velocity and magnetic fluctuations...
