Multiscaling in Models of Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
نویسندگان
چکیده
From a numerical study of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations we show, for the first time in three dimensions sd 3d, that velocity and magnetic-field structure functions exhibit multiscaling, extended self-similarity (ESS), and generalized extended self-similarity (GESS). We propose a new shell model for homogeneous and isotropic MHD turbulence, which preserves all the invariants of ideal MHD, reduces to a well-known shell model for fluid turbulence for zero magnetic field, has no adjustable parameters apart from Reynolds numbers, and exhibits the same multiscaling, ESS, and GESS as the MHD equations. We also study the inertialto dissipation-range crossover. [S0031-9007(98)07096-3]

Dynamic multiscaling in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence.
We present a study of the multiscaling of time-dependent velocity and magnetic-field structure functions in homogeneous, isotropic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence in three dimensions. We generalize the formalism that has been developed for analogous studies of time-dependent structure functions in fluid turbulence to MHD. By carrying out detailed numerical studies of such time-dependent st...
متن کاملStatistical properties of driven Magnetohydrodynamic tur- bulence in three dimensions: Novel universality
– We analyse the universal properties of nonequilibrium steady states of driven Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence in three dimensions (3d). We elucidate the dependence of various phenomenologically important dimensionless constants on the symmetries of the two-point correlation functions. We, for the first time, also suggest the intriguing possibility of multiscaling universality class varyi...
متن کاملThe Universality of Dynamic Multiscaling in Homogeneous, Isotropic Turbulence
We systematise the study of dynamic multiscaling of time-dependent structure functions in different models of passive-scalar and fluid turbulence. We show that, by suitably normalising these structure functions, we can eliminate their dependence on the origin of time at which we start our measurements and that these normalised structure functions yield the same linear bridge relations that rela...
متن کاملMean magnetic field and noise cross-correlation in magnetohydrodynamic turbulence: results from a one-dimensional model
We show that a recently proposed [J. Fleischer, P.H. Diamond, Phys. Rev. E 58, R2709 (1998)] one-dimensional Burgers-like model for magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is in effect identical to existing models for drifting lines and sedimenting lattices. We use the model to demonstrate, contrary to claims in the literature, that the energy spectrum of MHD turbulence should be independent of mean magneti...
متن کاملThe Varieties of Dynamic Multiscaling in Fluid Turbulence
We show that different ways of extracting time scales from time-dependent velocity structure functions lead to different dynamic-multiscaling exponents in fluid turbulence. These exponents are related to equal-time multiscaling exponents by different classes of bridge relations which we derive. We check this explicitly by detailed numerical simulations of the GOY shell model for fluid turbulenc...
