Numerical Simulations of Incompressible Mhd Turbulence
The study of incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence gives useful insights on many astrophysical problems. We describe a pseudo-spectral MHD code suitable for the study of incompressible turbulence. We review our recent works on direct three-dimensional numerical simulations for MHD turbulence in a periodic box. In those works, we use a pseudo-spectral code to solve the incompressib...
متن کاملDevelopment of anisotropy in incompressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence.
We present a set of three-dimensional direct numerical simulations of incompressible decaying magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in which we investigate the influence of an external uniform magnetic field B0 . A parametric study in terms of B0 intensity is made where, in particular, we distinguish the shear-from the pseudo-Alfvén waves dynamics. The initial kinetic and magnetic energies are equal w...
متن کاملSimulations of Electron Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
We present numerical simulations of electron magnetohydrodynamic (EMHD) and electron reduced MHD (ERMHD) turbulence. Comparing scaling relations, we find that both EMHD and ERMHD turbulence show similar spectra and anisotropy. We develop new techniques to study anisotropy of EMHD turbulence. Our detailed study of anisotropy of EMHD turbulence supports our earlier result of k‖ ∝ k ⊥ scaling, whe...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Incompressible Magnetohydrodynamic Flows
This paper presents numerical simulations of incompressible fluid flow problems in the presence of a magnetic field. The equations governing the flow consist of the Navier-Stokes equations of fluid motion coupled with Maxwell ́s equations of electromagnetics. The study of fluid flows under the influence of a magnetic field and with no free electric charges or electric fields is known as magnetoh...
متن کاملSimulations of Incompressible Mhd Turbulence
We simulate incompressible, MHD turbulence using a pseudo-spectral code. Our major conclusions are as follows. 1) MHD turbulence is most conveniently described in terms of counter propagating shear Alfvén and slow waves. Shear Alfvén waves control the cascade dynamics. Slow waves play a passive role and adopt the spectrum set by the shear Alfvén waves. Cascades composed entirely of shear Alfvén...
