On the transport and concentration of enstrophy in 3D magnetohydrodynamic turbulence
Working directly from the 3D magnetohydrodynamical equations and entirely in physical scales we formulate a scenario wherein the enstrophy flux exhibits cascade-like properties. In particular we show the inertially driven transport of current and vorticity enstrophy is from larger to smaller scale structures and this inter-scale transfer is local and occurs at a nearly constant rate. This proce...
متن کاملContributions of small scales to statistics of Hall MHD turbulence
A direct numerical simulation of decaying, homogeneous and isotropic turbulence of the incompressible Hall magnetohydrodynamic equations is carried out to clarify its statistical natures. Contributions of small scales to the statistics are examined. It is shown that the probability density function (PDF) of the enstrophy density is well characterized by the Gaussian distribution when the short ...
متن کاملDepletion of nonlinearity in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence: Insights from analysis and simulations.
It is shown how suitably scaled, order-m moments, D_{m}^{±}, of the Elsässer vorticity fields in three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) can be used to identify three possible regimes for solutions of the MHD equations with magnetic Prandtl number P_{M}=1. These vorticity fields are defined by ω^{±}=curlz^{±}=ω±j, where z^{±} are Elsässer variables, and where ω and j are, respectively, the...
متن کاملCoherent Structure Eduction in Wavelet-forced Two-dimensional Turbulent Flows
We analyze vorticity fields obtained from direct numerical simulations (DNS) of statistically stationary two-dimensional turbulence where the forcing is done in wavelet space. We introduce a new eduction method for extracting coherent structures from two-dimensional turbulent flows. Using a nonlinear wavelet technique based on an objective universal threshold we separate the vorticity field int...
متن کاملDivergence-free Wavelets for Coherent Vortex Extraction in 3D homogeneous isotropic turbulence
In this paper we investigate the use of divergence-free wavelet bases for the Coherent Vortex Extraction (CVE) of turbulent flows. We begin with a short presentation of the construction of 3D divergence-free biorthogonal wavelets. Then we apply the CVE decomposition to a homogeneous isotropic turbulent flow, computed by a direct numerical simulation at resolution 240 and upsampled to N = 256. A...
