Role of cross-helicity in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence.
Strong incompressible three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic turbulence is investigated by means of high-resolution direct numerical simulations. The simulations show that the configuration space is characterized by regions of positive and negative cross-helicity, corresponding to highly aligned or antialigned velocity and magnetic field fluctuations, even when the average cross-helicity is zero...
متن کاملStrong Anisotropic MHD Turbulence with Cross Helicity
This paper proposes a new phenomenology for strong incompressible MHD turbulence with nonzero cross helicity. This phenomenology is then developed into a quantitative Fokker-Planck model that describes the time evolution of the anisotropic power spectra of the fluctuations propagating parallel and anti-parallel to the background magnetic field B0. It is found that in steady state the power spec...
متن کاملAnisotropic scaling of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence.
We present a quantitative estimate of the anisotropic power and scaling of magnetic field fluctuations in inertial range magnetohydrodynamic turbulence, using a novel wavelet technique applied to spacecraft measurements in the solar wind. We show for the first time that, when the local magnetic field direction is parallel to the flow, the spacecraft-frame spectrum has a spectral index near 2. T...
متن کاملMagnetic helicity tensor for an anisotropic turbulence.
The evolution of the magnetic helicity tensor for a nonzero mean magnetic field and for large magnetic Reynolds numbers in an anisotropic turbulence is studied. It is shown that the isotropic and anisotropic parts of the magnetic helicity tensor have different characteristic times of evolution. The time of variation of the isotropic part of the magnetic helicity tensor is much larger than the c...
متن کاملNonlocal Phenomenology for Anisotropic Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
A nonlocal cascade model for anisotropic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence in the presence of a uniform magnetic field B is proposed. The model takes into account that (1) energy cascades in an anisotropic manner, and as a result a different estimate for the cascade rate in the direction parallel and perpendicular to the B field is made, and (2) the interactions that result in the cascade ar...
