Structure of Stationary Strong Imbalanced Turbulence
In this paper we systematically study the spectrum and structure of incompressible MHD turbulence by means of high resolution direct numerical simulations. We considered both balanced and imbalanced (cross-helical) cases and simulated sub-Alfvénic as well as trans-Alfvénic turbulence. This paper extends numerics preliminarily reported in Beresnyak & Lazarian 2008. We confirm that driven imbalan...
متن کاملComplexity and Intermittent Turbulence in Space Plasmas
Sporadic and localized interactions of coherent structures arising from plasma resonances can be the origin of "complexity" of the coexistence of nonpropagating spatiotemporal fluctuations and propagating modes in space plasmas. Numerical simulation results are presented to demonstrate the intermittent character of the non-propagating fluctuations. The technique of the dynamic renormalization-g...
متن کاملNonlinear Effects in Strong Turbulence in Magnetically Confined Plasmas
Strong electrostatic turbulence in magnetically confined plasmas is characterized by trapping or eddying of test particle trajectories produced by the E B stochastic drift. Trapping is shown to produce non-standard statistics of trajectories: non-Gaussian distribution, memory effects and quasi-coherence. Two types of effects produced by trapping are analyzed. The first type concerns particle an...
متن کاملComplexity induced anisotropic bimodal intermittent turbulence in space plasmas
The "physics of complexity" in space plasmas is the central theme of this exposition. It is demonstrated that the sporadic and localized interactions of magnetic coherent structures arising from the plasma resonances can be the source for the coexistence of nonpropagating spatiotemporal fluctuations and propagating modes. Non-Gaussian probability distribution functions of the intermittent fluct...
متن کاملVortex Dynamics in Turbulence
We survey attempts to construct vortex models of the inertial-range and fine-scale range of high Reynolds number turbulence. An emphasis is placed on models capable of quantitative predictions or postdictions. “I have no satisfaction in formulas unless I feel their numerical magnitude.” —Lord Kelvin
