Intermittency and the passive nature of the magnitude of the magnetic field
arXiv:nlin/0401043 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.93.064501
Abstract
It is shown that the statistical properties of the magnitude of the magnetic field in turbulent electrically conducting media resemble, in the inertial range, those of passive scalars in fully developed three-dimensional fluid turbulence. This conclusion, suggested by the data from Advanced Composition Explorer, is supported by a brief analysis of the appropriate magnetohydrodynamic equations.
