Weak Alfven-Wave Turbulence Revisited

A. A. Schekochihin, S. V. Nazarenko, T. A. Yousef

Weak Alfvenic turbulence in a periodic domain is considered as a mixed state of Alfven waves interacting with the two-dimensional (2D) condensate. Unlike in standard treatments, no…

Anisotropy of Alfvénic Turbulence in the Solar Wind and Numerical Simulations

C. H. K. Chen, A. Mallet, T. A. Yousef +2

We investigate the anisotropy of Alfvénic turbulence in the inertial range of slow solar wind and in both driven and decaying reduced magnetohydrodynamic simulations. A direct comp…

Turbulent Magnetic Reconnection in Two Dimensions

N. F. Loureiro, D. A. Uzdensky, A. A. Schekochihin +2

Two-dimensional numerical simulations of the effect of background turbulence on 2D resistive magnetic reconnection are presented. For sufficiently small values of the resistivity (…

Numerical experiments on dynamo action in sheared and rotating turbulence

T. A. Yousef, T. Heinemann, F. Rincon +5

Numerical simulations of forced turbulence in elongated shearing boxes are carried out to demonstrate that a nonhelical turbulence in conjunction with a linear shear can give rise…

Generation of Magnetic Field by Combined Action of Turbulence and Shear

T. A. Yousef, T. Heinemann, A. A. Schekochihin +5

The feasibility of a mean-field dynamo in nonhelical turbulence with superimposed linear shear is studied numerically in elongated shearing boxes. Exponential growth of magnetic fi…

Exact scaling laws and the local structure of isotropic magnetohydrodynamic turbulence

Tarek A. Yousef, Francois Rincon, Alexander A. Schekochihin

This paper examines the consistency of the exact scaling laws for isotropic MHD turbulence in numerical simulations with large magnetic Prandtl numbers Pm and with Pm=1. The exact…
