Scaling Relations of Compressible Mhd Turbulence
We study scaling relations of compressible strongly magnetized turbulence. We find a good correspondence of our results with the Fleck (1996) model of compressible hydrodynamic turbulence. In particular, we find that the density-weighted velocity, i.e. u ≡ ρv, proposed in Kritsuk et al. (2007) obeys the Kolmogorov scaling, i.e. Eu(k) ∼ k −5/3 for the high Mach number turbulence. Similarly, we f...
متن کاملDissipation in Compressible Mhd Turbulence
We report results of a three dimensional, high resolution (up to 512) numerical investigation of supersonic compressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence. We consider both forced and decaying turbulence. The model parameters are appropriate to conditions found in Galactic molecular clouds. We find that the dissipation time of turbulence is of order the flow crossing time or smaller, even in the p...
متن کاملGeneration of Compressible Modes in MHD Turbulence
Astrophysical turbulence is magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) in its nature. We discuss fundamental properties of MHD turbulence. In particular, we discuss the generation of compressible MHD waves by Alfvenic turbulence and show that this process is inefficient. This allows us to study the evolution of different types of MHD perturbations separately. We describe how to separate MHD fluctuations into 3 ...
متن کاملDust Dynamics in Compressible MHD Turbulence
We calculate the relative grain-grain motions arising from interstellar magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. The MHD turbulence includes both fluid motions and magnetic fluctuations. While the fluid motions accelerate grains through hydro-drag, the electromagnetic fluctuations accelerate grains through resonant interactions. We consider both incompressive (Alfvén) and compressive (fast and slo...
متن کاملScaling Laws in MHD Turbulence
We analyze the decay laws of the kinetic and magnetic energies and the evolution of correlation lengths in freely decaying incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. Scale invariance of MHD equations assures that, in the case of constant dissipation parameters (i.e. kinematic viscosity and resistivity) and null magnetic helicity, the kinetic and magnetic energies decay in time as E ∼ ...
