Wave Decay in Mhd Turbulence
We present a model for nonlinear decay of the weak wave in three-dimensional incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. We show that the decay rate is different for parallel and perpendicular waves. We provide a general formula for arbitrarily directed waves and discuss particular limiting cases known in the literature. We test our predictions with direct numerical simulations of wave...
متن کاملEnergy decay laws in strongly anisotropic magnetohydrodynamic turbulence.
We investigate the influence of a uniform magnetic field B(0)=B(0)e( parallel) on energy decay laws in incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. The nonlinear transfer reduction along B(0) is included in a model that distinguishes parallel and perpendicular directions, following a phenomenology of Kraichnan. We predict a slowing down of the energy decay due to anisotropy in the limit...
متن کاملImpact of Hall effect on energy decay in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence
[1] We examine numerically the influence of Hall effect corrections to Ohm’s law upon the decay of homogeneous compressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence and conclude that there are no significant differences in global decay rate associated with the Hall effect. This affirms expectations that energy decay is controlled by the large-scale eddies.
متن کاملDecay of capillary wave turbulence.
We report on the observation of freely decaying capillary wave turbulence on the surface of a fluid. The capillary wave turbulence spectrum decay is found to be self-similar in time with the same power law exponent as the one found in the stationary regime, in agreement with weak turbulence predictions. The amplitude of all Fourier modes are found to decrease exponentially with time at the same...
متن کاملDecay of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence from power-law initial conditions.
We derive relations for the decay of the kinetic and magnetic energies and the growth of the Taylor and integral scales in unforced, incompressible, homogeneous, and isotropic three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (3DMHD) turbulence with power-law initial energy spectra. We also derive bounds for the decay of the cross and magnetic helicities. We then present results from systematic numerical s...
