On the magnetohydrodynamic load and the magnetohydrodynamic metage
In analogy with the load and the metage in hydrodynamics, this paper defines magnetohydro-dynamic load and magnetohydrodynamic metage in the case of magnetofluids. They can be used to write the magnetic field in MHD in Clebsch's form. It has been shown herein how these two concepts can be utilised to derive the magnetic analogue of the Ertel's theorem and also, how in the presence of non-trivia...
متن کاملOn the Spectrum of Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
We propose a phenomenological model for incompressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. We argue that nonlinear-wave interaction weakens as the energy cascade proceeds to small scales, however, the anisotropy of fluctuations along the large-scale magnetic field increases, which makes turbulence strong at all scales. To explain the weakening of the interaction, we propose that smallscale fluctuat...
متن کاملThe discovery of magnetohydrodynamic waves
The discovery of magnetohydrodynamic waves was a major breakthrough in plasma physics and its applications to space physics and fusion research. The waves were discovered by Hannes Alfvén and are therefore also called Alfvén Waves. The discovery was typical of Alfvén’s outstanding ability to derive results of great generality from analysis of specific problems—in this case, the sunspots and the...
متن کاملOn two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic turbulence
It is shown that two-dimensional MHD turbulence is in certain respects closer to threedimensional than to two-dimensional hydrodynamic turbulence. A second-order closure indicates that: (i) a t zero viscosity and magnetic diffusivity, a singularity appears a t a finite time; (ii) there is an energy cascade to small scales and an inverse cascade of squared magnetic potential, in agreement with a...
