Statistics of active versus passive advections in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence.
Active turbulent advection is considered in the context of magnetohydrodynamics. In this case, an auxiliary passive field bears no apparent connection to the active field. The scaling properties of the two fields are different. In the framework of a shell model, we show that the two-point structure function of the passive field has a unique zero mode, characterizing the scaling of this field on...
متن کاملScaling properties of three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic turbulence
The scaling properties of three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic turbulence with finite magnetic helicity are obtained from direct numerical simulations using 512(3) modes. The results indicate that the turbulence does not follow the Iroshnikov-Kraichnan phenomenology. The scaling exponents of the structure functions can be described by a modified She-Leveque model zeta(p) = p/9+1-(1/3)(p/3), co...

متن کاملInverse cascade in decaying three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic turbulence.
We perform direct numerical simulations of three-dimensional freely decaying magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. For helical magnetic fields, an inverse cascade effect is observed in which power is transferred from smaller scales to larger scales. The magnetic field reaches a scaling regime with self-similar evolution, and power-law behavior at high wave numbers. We also find power-law decay in the...
متن کاملSmall-scale structures in three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic turbulence.
We investigate using direct numerical simulations with grids up to 1536(3) points, the rate at which small scales develop in a decaying three-dimensional MHD flow both for deterministic and random initial conditions. Parallel current and vorticity sheets form at the same spatial locations, and further destabilize and fold or roll up after an initial exponential phase. At high Reynolds numbers, ...
