Field theoretic calculation of renormalized viscosity, renormalized resistivity, and energy fluxes of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence.

چکیده
A self-consistent renormalization scheme has been applied to nonhelical magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence with zero cross helicity. Kolmogorov's 5/3 power law has been shown to be a consistent solution for d> or =d(c) approximately 2.2. For Kolmogorov's solution, both renormalized viscosity and resistivity are positive for the whole range of parameters. Various cascade rates and Kolmogorov's constant for MHD turbulence have been calculated by solving the flux equation to first order in the perturbation series. We find that the magnetic energy cascades forward. The Kolmogorov constant for d=3 does not vary significantly with r(A) and is found to be close to the constant for fluid turbulence.

Probing Physics of Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence Using Direct Numerical Simulation
The energy spectrum and the nolinear cascade rates of MHD turbulence is not clearly understood. We have addressed this problem using direct numerical simulation and analytical calculations. Our numerical simulations indicate that Kolmogorov-like phenomenology with k energy spectrum, rather than Kraichnan’s k, appears to be applicable in MHD turbulence. Here, we also construct a self-consistent ...
متن کاملMagnetohydrodynamic dissipation range spectra for isotropic viscosity and resistivity
Dissipation range spectra for incompressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence are derived for isotropic viscosity and resistivity . The spectra are obtained from heuristic closures of spectral transfer correlations for cases with Pm= / 1, where Pm is the magnetic Prandtl number. Familiar inertial range power laws are modified by exponential factors that dominate spectral falloff in the dissipatio...
متن کاملRenormalization group in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence
The renormalization group (RNG) theory is applied to magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations written in Elshser variables, as done by Yakhot and Orszag for Navier-Stokes equations. As a result, a system of coupled nonlinear differential equations for the “effective” or turbulent “viscosities” is obtained. Without solving this system, it is possible to prove their exponential behavior at the “fixed ...
متن کاملRenormalized expression for the turbulent energy dissipation rate.
Conditional elimination of degrees of freedom is shown to lead to an exact expression for the rate of turbulent energy dissipation in terms of a renormalized viscosity and a correction. The correction is neglected on the basis of a previous hypothesis [W. D. McComb and C. Johnston, J. Phys. A 33, L15 (2000)] that there is a range of parameters for which a quasistochastic estimate is a good appr...
