Spectral Cascade and Energy Dissipation in Kinetic Alfvén Wave Turbulence
Spectral cascade and energy dissipation of Alfven turbulence is studied using a massively parallel gyrokinetic particle simulation. The simulation observes a magnetic energy spectrum with a power law index of ”-5/3” in the long wavelength, which agrees with magnetohydrodynamic results in the inertial range. In the dissipation range, the simulation finds a spectral break point on the ion gyrorad...
متن کاملMethods for measuring energy dissipation rate in anisotropic turbulence
Energy dissipation rate, ε, is an important parameter for nearly every experiment on turbulent flow. Mathematically precise relationships between ε and other measurable statistics for the case of anisotropic turbulence are useful to experimentalists. Such relationships are obtained for which the measurable statistics are the 3rd-order and 2nd-order velocity structure functions as well as the ac...
متن کاملDianeutral Upwelling Without Dissipation of Kinetic Energy
Estimates of the upwelling of bottom and deep water have recently been used to deduce the magnitude of area-averaged mixing activity and the required dissipation of kinetic energy that is input by winds and tides. Here we raise questions about this link between upwelling and the dissipation of energy. Several processes are discussed, each of which lead to the upwelling of water across neutral d...
متن کاملIntermittent Dissipation and Heating in 3D Kinetic Plasma Turbulence.
High resolution, fully kinetic, three dimensional (3D) simulation of collisionless plasma turbulence shows the development of turbulence characterized by sheetlike current density structures spanning a range of scales. The nonlinear evolution is initialized with a long wavelength isotropic spectrum of fluctuations having polarizations transverse to an imposed mean magnetic field. We present evi...
متن کاملThe Energy Dissipation Rate of Supersonic, Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence in Molecular Clouds
Molecular clouds have broad linewidths suggesting turbulent supersonic motions in the clouds. These motions are usually invoked to explain why molecular clouds take much longer than a free-fall time to form stars. It has classically been thought that supersonic hydrodynamical turbulence would dissipate its energy quickly, but that the introduction of strong magnetic elds could maintain these mo...
