Multiscaling in Hall-Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence: Insights from a Shell Model
arXiv:1303.0650 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.111.174501
Abstract
We show that a shell-model version of the three-dimensional Hall-magnetohydrodynamic (3D Hall-MHD) equations provides a natural theoretical model for investigating the multiscaling behaviors of velocity and magnetic structure functions. We carry out extensive numerical studies of this shell model, obtain the scaling exponents for its structure functions, in both the low- and high- power-law ranges of 3D Hall-MHD, and find that the extended-self-similarity (ESS) procedure is helpful in extracting the multiscaling nature of structure functions in the high- regime, which otherwise appears to display simple scaling. Our results shed light on intriguing solar-wind measurements.
